Though a follow-up to his deadpan previous book, The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z is more serious in tone, and strives to be both factually and psychologically convincing. Brooks also states that World War Z follows the "laws" set up in The Zombie Survival Guide, and that the guide exists in this world as a precursor to the war.
Brooks plays the role of an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published the novel in this fictional future after the United Nations left out much of his work from the official report, as it chose to focus on the facts figures of the war rather than the human aspects he included. Rather than a grand overview or a single perspective, World War Z is instead a collection of individual accounts in the form of interviews between the author and the characters. Taking place in the near future, the book charts a decade-long war against zombies from remote oddities, to a global pandemic to mass panic, and then to an armed struggle to reclaim the planet from the undead from the view point of many different people and nationalities. The agent's interviews with survivors take place a decade after the war. In addition, the personal accounts describe the changing religious, geo-political, and environmental aftermath of the Zombie War.
Inspired by the The Good War and George Romero, Brooks uses World War Z to provide commentary on a wide range of topics including government ineptitude, survivalism, and uncertainty in our times. It has been praised by critics and the audiobook version, complete with an all-star cast, won the 2007 Audie Award. A film based upon the book is currently in development.
