I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Newsflesh trilogy, by Mira Grant; it's a trilogy focusing on a group of journalists (bloggers) in a post-zombie-apocalypse society. It's got realistic near-future tech. It's got news reporting. It's got politics, and I mean campaign politics, not just government conspiracies and the like (though there's the fair share of those as well). It's got multiple perspectives. It's got zombies by the truckload. In short, it was written for me. The third and final book, Blackout, was just released, and I managed to grab a copy while I was out today. If you need me, I'll be reading it, and then feeling inadequate about my writing abilities.
