Episode #130: Max Brooks (The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z), and Daveed Gartenstein-Ross (CEO, Expert Theory)- What Would You Do in a Zombie Apocalypse?

from 20 Sided Gamified Podcast

Max Brooks. Daveed Gartenstein-Ross. Do I have to say anything else? If I do- here goes- Max totally redefined and added to the genre of "zombies" with his groundbreaking novels (The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z). Daveed- the CEO of Expert Theory- a company which I believe is redefining the design and implementation of simulations in the professional world. Together, they worked designed a zombie apocalypse simulation (which is also being turned into a commercial game), refereed by Max, which plays beautifully, and puts folks into major decision making situations. This episode, to me, was one of my favorite to record.
