The novel looks at global socio-politics through the lens of individual recollections of how governments and nations dealt with the zombie outbreak. I suppose it's a look at global political schemes via the storytelling device of a potentially-reversible apocalyptic event.
The film shares the name of the book only. The book is fantastic... the film is a mighty abortion.
If someone is going to do a philosophical analysis of a zombie film, at least make sure it is actually a good one. Romero's ones are an obvious choice, but have been analysed to death now. Yet his take on things like consumerism is still spot on.
