In recent years, this has changed dramatically. The undead are fast and ferocious in \u003ci\u003e28 Days Later...\u003c\/i\u003e (2002) and \u003ci\u003eWorld War Z\u003c\/i\u003e (2013). In Warm Bodies (2013) and \u003ci\u003eIn the Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e (2013-2015), they are thoughtful, sensitive and capable of empathy. These sometimes radically different depictions of the undead (and the still living) suggest critical inquiries: What does it mean to be human? What makes a monster? Who survives the zombie apocalypse, and why? Focusing on classic and current movies and TV shows, the author reveals how the once-subversive modern zombie, now more popular than ever, has been co-opted by the mainstream culture industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth Aiossa\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of English and Humanities at College of Lake County in Grayslake, Illinois.
