brainwaneBelatedly realized I'd already made a front-page post to MetaFilter recommending a short story that I already recommended to you but without much fanfare! So I'll post here what I was gonna say there:
"Subject: 'Became a zombie' Life Event"
From 2013: "Feature Development for Social Networking" by Benjamin Rosenbaum, an epistolary zombie story set at a tech platform, exploring "how fantastical tropes might alter a familiar technology that many of us use every day". Tracy: "We decided AGAINST making it a Life Event! The point is to be able to tag other people as zombies. If you can log in to update your own status, you’re not a zombie, am I right?" Floyd: "There is a 24-hour incubation period, so you could set it in advance of symptom onset."
