| Title: | Fashionably Late: Zombies Among Us in Nature, Technology, and the Business World |
| Author: | Xalieri, Laszlo |
| Abstract: | Xalieri's presentation makes an argument for well-documented real-world parasitic infections to be alarmingly zombie-like in nature, and -- via analogy, metaphor, and parallel constructions -- extrapolates the emergence of the zombie plague to the worlds of information technology and incorporated organizations, centering on the mechanism of introducing external modifications to the functioning of certain existing instruction sets: DNA in the natural world, programming in the world of information technology, and bylaws and articles of incorporation in the world of incorporated entities. |
