This is the first zombie-type story I have actually enjoyed (text or movie). It's a classic "what if...?" story, with a decent scientific premise (which good SF has). The political premise is distressingly valid. Best of all, Mitch could be any of us, with his tentative, arms-length relationships and his bewilderment at how fast your life can go down the toilet. Mitch is a genuinely moral person, trying so hard to avoid harming others while life turns to chaos around him. His is a good example of how history is made one breath at a time, and often while you're running for your life. As a colleague used to say to me when things got really tough, "Keep breathing".
