Global-scale zombie stories told from multiple viewpoints often follow separate groups across different continents before their paths eventually intersect. That structure creates a huge sense of scale and shows how different societies collapse. If you enjoy that fragmented, worldwide perspective, you might find 'The Apocalypse Survival Manual' interesting. It's framed as an in-world document compiled from survivors' accounts, so you get civilian, military, and scientific viewpoints on the outbreak's global progression, blending personal logs with tactical advice on the crumbling world.

A lot of these recommendations are very serious. For a hilarious, multi-POV deconstruction of every zombie trope, 'The Last Bastion of the Living' by Rhiannon Frater is a fave, but also check out 'Mogworld' by Yahtzee Croshaw. The latter is from the perspective of a minion in a fantasy MMO who becomes undead and is very annoyed about it. It's a single POV, but his journey exposes the absurd logic of zombie narratives (and video games) from a brilliantly cynical angle.

For a truly unique structural experiment, 'The Zombie Autopsies' by Steven C. Schlozman is written as the journal of a neuroscientist conducting autopsies on zombies to find a cure, while trapped in an Arctic lab. You get his scientific viewpoint, but also transcriptions of video logs from other global research stations that have gone silent. It builds a terrifying picture of a coordinated, scientific response failing across the world, all through clinical notes and desperate final messages.

I need to shout out 'The Reapers are the Angels' by Alden Bell. It's a single, beautiful, lyrical viewpoint, but the setting feels vast because the protagonist travels across a fallen America. You get glimpses of different communities and how they've carved out existence. It's not technically multi-POV global, but the journey gives you that sweeping, epic feel of a world changed. It's more about the atmosphere of the apocalypse than a geopolitical survey.

Nick Cole's 'The Old Man and the Wasteland' isn't a zombie book, it's post-nuclear, but the request for multi-POV global apocalypse made me think of it. It's a short, poignant story of an old man surviving alone, and his memories provide the other 'viewpoints'—the lost world, his family, the war. Sometimes the most powerful multi-perspective story is one person's shattered psyche reflecting a broken world. The silence speaks volumes about the global scale.

If you like military fiction with soul, 'Plague of the Dead' (The Morningstar Strain series) by Z.A. Recht is solid. It follows multiple threads—soldiers, civilians, scientists—as the virus spreads. The characters feel like real people caught in a breakdown of chain of command and morality. The focus on the soldiers' duty, confusion, and camaraderie as everything collapses gives it a grounded, human weight.
