[...] Zombie fiction is hardly a specialty here at RWR, but we must note that Harvard psychiatrist Steven C. Schlozman has just published The Zombie Autopsies: Secret Notebooks from the Apocalypse. It’s based on the recovered journals of Dr. Stanley Blum, who is already infected (as is two-thirds of humankind) with ataxic neurodegenerative satiety deficiency syndrome (ANSD)—the virus that makes flesh-eating zombies lurch and lunch—when he decamps to Bassas da India, an island overseen by the U.N., to vivisect captive zombies in the hope of isolating the pathogen before he succumbs to it. His novel is one of many zombie science resources discussed here. [...]

[...] The Smithsonian Surprising Science blog has compiled a list of real zombie science links including mathematical modeling work to determine how fast zombies would infect a populace, zombie biology and other source of information. Sadly, these sources are rather rudimentary. Where is the work on zombies and renewable energy or speciation? As we have seen time and time again, zombies vary widely – some are fast, others are slow and others have exotic traits and abilities, yet no work is being done to explain the evolution of the zombie.

OK, so we’re rigourously modeling zombi-ism, a social / political metaphor. Why stop there? Why not rigourously model superheroes / supervillains? (Not necessarily based on Larry Niven’s analysis.) Or Welfare Cadillacs? Or Glenn Beck’s eschatology? So many metaphors, so few models…
