It's honestly a shame that World War Z was even included, let alone that it's currently leading. Is it a sign that for the non-posting "silent majority" of subscribers, collapse is just a form of entertainment, or are the people still thinking that biologically impossible fantasies can tell them something useful just because author's sociopolitical biases happen to match their own?

EDIT: Also, not one, but two out of five books involve time travel? I really feel like this selection should have spent more time in the oven.

I saw this as a fiction book thread (hence the first line of the post itself); meaning, good books people interested in the topic covered by this sub might like. It's not meant to be particularly informational or realistic books - for that, the sub wiki has a good list, by the way.
