What will you do on the inevitable day that zombies finally overrun the planet? GrabThe Maker's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse from under your bed, follow the instructions, and fortify your house!

The Maker's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is the manual you need to survive in the land of the walking dead. In this guide, expert hardware hacker and zombie aficionado Simon Monk starts by teaching you to generate electricity with solar and pedal power. From there, you'll craft essential electronic survival tools from scavenged components, an Arduino, and a Raspberry Pi.

Take charge of your environment:

  • Monitor zombie movement with trip wires and motion sensors
  • Keep vigilant watch over your compound with a surveillance system
  • Shed light on a dark situation with low-power LED lighting
  • Detect other natural disasters with temperature and fire detectors
Communicate with other survivors:
  • Send messages with a Morse code flasher and a silent haptic communication device
  • Find other human broadcasts with an FM radio frequency hopper
Escape danger as quickly as possible:
  • Distract zombies with flash, movement, and noise makers so you can flee
  • Build a remote-controlled door to let you inside without fumbling with keys
Don't end up another brain-hungry zombie! Keep The Maker's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse at your side, and even if you're surrounded by hoards of undead, you'll be prepared to outlast them and restart human civilization.

Arvustused

"Simon Monk's The Maker's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is a dead serious hands-on survivor's guide to life in a post-apocalyptic world. Simon takes us on a technological tour, improvising a survivor's electric supply from scavenged auto parts, building zombie alarms, and adding remote access and devices that will detect open doors. I highly recommend this book for readers at all levels of expertise." David Herres, author of The Homeowner's DIY Guide to Electrical Wiring

"The Makers Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse is chock-full of cool projects for people who like tinkering, building, and programmingor for people who want to learn those things." Daily XY

"The Makers Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse by Simon Monk is a fun way to learn about basic preparedness and how to craft some essential electronic contraptions to survive the horde." Amazing Stories Magazine

"Simon Monk's The Maker's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse stands out from the rest of the survival guides...you'll learn practical things like how to draw zombies away from your location or how to communicate with your scavenging team while you're at your home base. You won't be disappointed." Horror Talk

"I recommend this book to anyone thinking about getting into hobby electronics. Simon Monk does an excellent job of providing great detail and information about general electronics, Arduino and Raspberry Pi." Manhattan Book Review

The book is fun to read and lovely illustrated; all in all, The Makers Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse gives a great introduction into making and is one of the best books for encouraging young people to become makers. Knight of Pi
