God WWZ and everything spawned from it is just awful.

It's less realistic than Resident Evil, yet has the presumption of someone who's read What the Bleep do we Know and thinks they get it, and can lecture down to you ignorant sheeple about the ~reality~ of things and your silly misconceptions.

I honestly thought I was all but alone in geekdom in being less than impressed with WWZ. It was the worst all possible worlds: woefully unrealistic yet deadly serious, featuring other nations yet painfully Ameri-centric and slotting the rest in with merry band of stereotypes, features only two chapters from a female perspective - both of whom are of course utter cliches.

There are literally tens of us.

You've hit on my major peeves with it pretty well, though in a more general sense it encapsulates everything about a certain type of nerd culture that irritates me. As you said it's both ridiculous whilst attempting to be incredibly po faced, and from a certain libertarian american perspective.

And every single character talks exactly the same way. Oh, some of the "tough" characters might throw in a couple extra swears or "Look! Look! I did my research!" military terms, but they've still all got the same vocabulary and diction.

It's almost entirely a local pride thing, but the thing that annoyed me the most about the parts I read -- I bounced around to the chapters that looked the most interesting and realized quite quickly that none of them actually were -- was that the military character who was talking about everything in footnoted jargon referred to the aircraft storage facility at the Davis-Monthan Air Force base by its official name. I've lived near it my entire life and never heard anyone not call it "the boneyard."

A day late in replying? It's never too late to join the "WWZ wasn't that good" club/support group.

The parts set in the Middle East were agonizing. And I'm not sure it's possible for the author to let a woman so much as be mentioned in the story without being called a bitch (or worse) at some point. Especially the newsanchor who was supposed to be the one who blew the lid off the whole thing. A veritable Murrow, and all we know about her is that she's a "cunt" for doing what she did? Meanwhile, have another chapter about the soldier. Great decisions, book.
