Comment: You’ve had three chances to reliably source the article. There were links in the notices, some of which you deleted. Perhaps you can’t find any reliable sources because none exist. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 01:39, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

20ZZ is a science fiction novel written by Canadian author Hudson Nernburg during his sixth grade year. The book was self-published in 2018. Despite being written by a young author, 20ZZ has been praised for its mature concepts and imaginative storytelling.

Author

Hudson Nernburg (born 2008) is a Canadian author who began writing 20ZZ at the age of 13, while in sixth grade. Nernburg’s interest in technology and science fiction grew from a young age, and his early exposure to books, films, and video games about the future heavily influenced his writing. 20ZZ is his first published work, and he has since gone on to write additional stories exploring similar themes of technology and human nature.

In interviews, Nernburg has said that his fascination with apocalyptic stories and questions about survival and ethics in a collapsing world influenced the development of 20ZZ. Nernburg’s work has been praised for its ability to blend youthful imagination with deep, philosophical ideas.

Reception

Critics were impressed with Nernburg's ability to craft a compelling zombie apocalypse story while weaving in complex themes such as morality, survival, and the impact of technology. The novel’s pacing, character development, and atmosphere were highlighted as key strengths.

However, some readers found the book's depiction of the zombie outbreak and the various factions somewhat familiar. noted, “While 20ZZ doesn’t reinvent the zombie genre, it presents a fresh, youthful perspective on an otherwise overplayed concept.”

Publication History

20ZZ was self-published by Hudson Nernburg in 2018, following several revisions of the manuscript that had been written over a period of two years. The book was initially shared with friends and family before being made available online through self-publishing websites.
