What happens in Fido from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In a retro-futuristic, 1950s-inspired world, the dead walk the earth after space radiation reshapes death itself. In this alternate reality, humanity engaged in the so‑called Zombie Wars, fighting to stave off a full-blown apocalypse. Even after victory, the radiation still haunts people: anyone who dies becomes undead unless their body is disposed of by decapitation or cremation. To keep life ordinary, isolated communities are fenced in by a powerful corporation called ZomCon, which outfits zombies with collars and remote controls so they can be kept as orderly, human‑servicing labor.
