It should be accepted that zombie literature is not done to any great skill..but it sure is fun! This aside, the human condition is exemplary to the classic Romero-style walking dead. This book is as oppressive as a mass of rotten bodies. My friend could not get through this book after reading the trilogy. I feel that this is because the book contains too many terminal events. The prequel shorts for characters involved in the trilogy are not as successful as the stories of new characters. For those wanting to know what happened to the soldiers in the bunker are in for a treat. The book is composed of thirty-six shorts including a few after the concluding events of the trilogy. It also has an appendix. Some material was available for a while online as 'echo's' but it does contain unique material too. This book is for those left wanting (needing!)more after the trilogy.

Autumn: The Human Condition is the forth book in David Moody’s post-apocalyptic zombie saga. The book is a companion book that explores various characters sub-plots during the time of the Autumn novels. The book evolved from the Autumn: Echoes series that has been available as a free download from David Moody’s website. The book draws reference to a lot from all three previous Autumn novels, mostly from the third instalment Autumn: Purification.
From the very start of this companion book, the mood and atmosphere is very downbeat and dark, as the reader is taken through 35 vastly different perspectives of the end of the world. The book is broken down into time frames, starting with the horrific beginning of the epidemic to the final hours of the few survivors. A thoroughly enjoyable and in-depth read throughout, you get to follow the path of one particular zombie, allowing the reader to empathise and try to understand a little more of the stages that the zombies went through in the previous three novels.
With the exciting news recently released of David’s next proposed Autumn novel, this book is a great piece of reading to take you further into his desperate world. There are a few chapters in the book that stand alone as fantastic pieces of fiction such as “Duck and Cover”, “Office Politics”, “The Human Condition” and “The Garden Shed”. Each give a very full and eventful tale from other survivors that were never visited in the previous books. There is also a final chapter entitled “Underground” that takes you back to the underground army bunker from “The City” and “Purification”, where you get to see the after effects of the devastating battle that was fought there. This particular chapter, in my opinion, is one of Moody’s most dark, horrific and gore filled chapters to date.
The book ends with a few pages of character references that simply details and reminds the reader briefly of who and where the characters in the book appeared in the other original ‘Autumn’ books.
The book is released through David Moody's own publishing company 'Infected Books' and runs for a total of 320 pages.

There's no real reason to read The Human Condition. It's a disparate collection of short stories which seem to be chapters from the previous three books, modified somewhat, but rehashed none-the-less. So, with no new content, no singular plot, no continuity, there's little left to compel the reader. It's not a guide book either, since it offers very little new data. I'd struggle to find a reason to recommend this entry in the series, it's for Autumn fans only.
