Where We're Obsessed With Zombies
And what this says about the geography of the web.
Our favorite geographers behind the Floating Sheep blog have done some pretty sober work mapping the digital geographies of racism, conflict, and inequality. For a while now, though, they've also been at work on a slightly lighter project that seems fitting for a sweltering Friday afternoon (it is sweltering in Washington, and so we assume it is sweltering everywhere). At the intersection of the Internet and the real world, they've also been mapping zombies.
Because, well, "looking for and mapping geo-coded references to zombies on the web provides insight on the memes, mechanisms and the macabre of the modern world."
