Anyone read World War Z?

So, been playing this game and I've discovered that a lot of ideas seem to be borrowed from World War Z. Not just the ideas, but the actual names of the things. For example, the Phalanx drug, which was in the book. Also, the plan where the survivors are left behind as zombie bait? That's from World War Z to. And no, they didn't just come up with a similar idea, they straight up stole it because they refer to zones on the radio at the beginning of the wave as "Redaker Zones". In the book, the idea that not everyone could be saved was called the Redaker Plan. Not trying to dis on the game, but it just seems ridiculous that the devs can't even be bothered to come up with new names for the stuff. Are these all ment to be a friendly nod to the book? Either way, I'd just like to say well played

I know right? Holy Russia and it's battle-priests are always what I think of when I think about WWZ. Sure, it has really retarded debacles like Yonkers, but it also has really AWESOME things like that.

We like to throw in references from our favorite zombie related media and literature. A less obvious one is Molotov's character was originally based off of Cillian Murphy's character in 28 Days Later.

There are also a ton of LOST references. Can you find them all?
