There is a universal fascination with the living dead. There is more to a zombie story that a bunch of corpses attacking the living. The real power of such a story lies with the undercurrent of hopelessness compounded by a very real instinct to survi...
To be a revolutionary you have to be a human being. You have to care about people who have no power.
