      abstract = {Zombification isn't just the stuff of movies and TV shows  like The Walking Dead. It's real, and it's happening all  around us, from wasps and crickets to dogs and moose--and  even humans. In Plight of the Living Dead, science  journalist Matt Simon documents his journey through the  bizarre science of real-life mind control. Along the way,  he visits a lab littered with the corpses of zombie ants,  joins the search for kamikaze crickets in the hills of New  Mexico, and travels to Israel to meet the wasp that stings  cockroaches in the brain before leading them to their doom.  A madcap, brain-bending journey into an exhilarating new  frontier of neuroscience, Plight of the Living Dead shows  us that nothing Hollywood dreams up can match the horrific  zombies that evolution has produced time and time again.},
