No, that made sense and was valuable input thank you! I dismissed World War Z because of the movie and honestly had no idea it was a book so may check it out (wifey likes zombies, so that's one present sorted ;) ).

I want to avoid the bad robot trope but you have just given me an idea for a bounty hunter story that I'm tempted to work into one of the stories I wanted to tell... I should write this down, maybe start a system of documents.

Yeah man, definitely give the book a go. The movie was an atrocity that should be buried along with all the copies of E.T. for Atari. Highly recommend The Zombie Survival Guide if your wife enjoys zombies. Written by Max Brooks, the same guy who writes World War Z. It's a humorous, but also kind of legit take on what to do in the event of a zombie outbreak, whereas World War Z is a (mostly) serious collection of short stories from all kinds of people from around the world. Very cool. Nothing at all like the movie. Literally zero relation.
