World War Z (the book) had to go to extreme lengths to dumb the world’s militaries down to make it’s zombie apocalypse seem plausible… everything from completely misrepresenting the way air-fuel munitions work to completely misunderstanding what assault rifles is all about.
The author’s understanding of people in countries that isn’t the US seems to be based on tourism-brochure level tropes and not much else. And his depictions of South Africa and Israel betrays a lot of fascistic sympathies.

And the book’s silliness doesn’t stop there…
