Zombies: A Pop Culture Obsession That Won’t Die
From Haitian folklore to box office blockbusters, zombies have haunted us for centuries. Modern zombie culture as we know it was shaped by George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968), which redefined the genre with themes of survival, contagion, and social collapse.
Zombie stories endure because they reflect cultural anxieties, from viral outbreaks to the breakdown of social order. In his book American Zombie Gothic, Dr. Kyle William Bishop argues that zombies are a mirror for societal fears in times of crisis (Bishop, 2010).
“The zombie is the monster of the 21st century… It stands for everything we fear and everything we cannot control.” — Bishop (2010)
This undead fascination extends far beyond the screen. It has invaded gaming culture with franchises like Resident Evil, The Last of Us, and Left 4 Dead, where the stakes are survival, and the setting is chaos.
Coffee and Gaming: The High-Performance Pairing
For gamers, caffeine is more than a boost, it's a power-up.
Research from the Journal of Caffeine Research shows that caffeine enhances alertness, attention, and reaction time, all essential skills for competitive or immersive gameplay (Einöther & Giesbrecht, 2013).
In a randomized control trial, moderate caffeine intake significantly improved sustained attention and motor response speed, two key metrics for performance in mentally demanding activities like gaming.
In short, if you’re trying to stay alive in-game (or in real life before 9 a.m.), a strong espresso could be your best ally.
