Phil Gochenour explores the literary history of the zombie apocalypse narrative from its roots in William Morris' utopian novel News from Nowhere and anarcho-syndicalist political theory, through its reconfiguration in John Wyndham's eco-disaster novel The Day of the Triffids and Max Brooks' World War Z.
Phil Gochenour received a PhD in comparative literature from Emory University and has held faculty positions at The University of Virginia and Towson State University. Currently he is a Senior Technical Writer for the Engineering Excellence organization at Amazon.
