Chuck Klosterman My Zombie, Myself

Chuck Klosterman is the writer of My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead and he is also a writer on the visiting writer’s series at Lenoir-Rhyne University which can be found in this link http://visitingwriters.lr.edu/the-authors. Klosterman’s piece My Zombie, Myself is about Zombies and how they have become the monsters of this era replacing vampires. He goes on to explain how zombies have not changed for many years and are not very complex creatures like vampires. While the story is referring to zombies the creatures Klosterman is referring to our zombies we face every day. For instance emails that we have to read and delete every day or paper work we have to do every day at work. He calls these zombies because just like zombies they are never ending and after we complete the task it comes back the next day. It makes us feel like we are stuck in life repeating the same things over and over. There are a few questions that his work left me with the first one being why can’t we just change our jobs or life if we are tired of the zombies in our life and the other being how exactly are we living in a zombies world I do not fully understand that reference.
