A man in Brazil is found stumbling through the streets, covered in bite marks from other people and infected with something that turns him violent. That’s not a horror script; that’s the starting point. In this Kamen’s Konspiracies, Kamen tracks the science behind “real” zombies: ant-controlling fungi, brain-altering parasites, rabies, and engineered pathogens that can strip away inhibition and ramp up aggression. Is the zombie apocalypse just fiction, or are we already experimenting with its building blocks?
