So cool! The book has nothing to do with the movie though, thank god. It’s such a great format, delivered masterfully. The audio book features the author himself, interviewing the zombie war survivors! If you like this one, check out the last chapters of "Lock In" by John Scalzi. It’s a similar pseudo-documentary about another kinds of apocalypse.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
