Zombies vs Nerds

What if one group fighting the Zombie apocalypse were not complete dysfunctional idiots? When the zombie apocalypse happens, a group of four highly gifted college students have to work together to build a safe base, study the zombies closely and design and build weapons to take them down, all while making as many gratuitous Firefly references as possible, They also have to create a stable, well-functioning society for themselves and other survivors and eventually try to figure out what caused the outbreak and how to stop it. This darkly humorous story is The Martian meets World War Z (the book, not the terrible movie). I have written the first 65,000 words of the book already and will post here regularly. I would LOVE to hear any comments or feedback. This book was written100% by a human with LLMs used occasionally for research.
