In perfect health with a razor sharp mind, celebrating with friends and family. 100 years! Happy Birthday, Dad!

So honored to participate in this landmark series about the war that shaped our world. Thank you to Tom Hanks, The History Channel ( @historyuk.bsky.social ) and Nutopia

It is?

Thanks to everyone for the enthusiasm about THE FIRST HUNDRED HOURS. For anyone in North America who wants to read the excerpt in a physical book, you can find it in the latest printing of the WORLD WAR Z trade paperback at your local bookstore.

If you are interested in learning more about my upcoming novel THE FIRST HUNDRED HOURS, you can now read an introduction on my website - www.maxbrooks.com/news/2026/1/...

Great time at the Premier of HBO’s tribute to my dad.

Yesterday was a tragedy beyond imagination, and to the press, I ask, please leave the Reiner family alone. Give them the space and privacy to grieve in peace.

New book on its way! For the last few years I’ve been working on ‘The First Hundred Hours, a story of Alien Invasion.’ Updates coming soon!

In elementary school, Brennan Spiegel was so creative and smart, he helped inspire me to write. Now, 40 years later, he still blows my mind with his insights. Check out “Pull”, the book that explains how gravity directs our body and mind.

Opening Night of “The Producers” London revival was spectacular! Huge shoutout to @baadumching.bsky.social, Vice President of Brooksfilms. People behind the scenes never get the credit they deserve. If you’ve loved Mel Brooks’ work for the last 20 years, it’s because Shelby helped bring it to life.

Just witnessed the Harlem Hellfighters finally being awarded the Congressional Gold Medal! As if that wasn’t thrilling enough, I got to meet the descendants of Hellfighter and Jazz legend James Reese Europe! #jazz #WorldWar1 #HarlemHellfighters #JamesReeseEurope

Tremendous honor to be invited back to be the keynote speaker for the US Naval War College’s Future Warfighting Symposium.

Proud to be dubbed “The Zombie Whisperer” in Jon Small’s awesome book on writing. www.amazon.com/Write-About-...

🙋‍♂️Oh!Oh! I know I know!

The Brooks Boys. Happy 99th, Dad.

Way to go, Dad.

Just heard Devolution is going back for another printing. And yes, the hatchet in the picture is same one from the book. Handmade with no tools just to see if my characters could do the same.

Charles Bronson, More than a Vigilante, The Musical with @thestevenweber.bsky.social and Lisa Loeb is out on limited vinyl! Congratulations to Henry Brooks! bronsonthemusical.bigcartel.com

The excitement of the Minecraft Movie has me re-listening to Jack Black read the audiobook of Minecraft: The Island. Isn’t he awesome? www.instagram.com/reel/DHcPoYW...

Milo just heard that Minecraft: The Island just got a 14th printing! Great way to start the day!

Honored to have my story “Hunger” included in this anthology by the late legendary Harlan Ellison. Thank you, J. Michael Straczynski! @straczynski.bsky.social

Thanks for the great response to my appearance on Bill Maher. Many of you had thoughtful follow-up questions about cyber security. I hope this article answers some of them. mwi.westpoint.edu/arent-ready-...

TONIGHT: Bill welcomes @maxbrooks.bsky.social, Dan Jones and Peggy Noonan to Real Time! Reply with a question and watch the conversation continue after the show on Overtime @ YouTube.com/RealTime

Excited to be back on @realtimers.bsky.social this Friday!

Happy Chanukah!

I’ve just learned that WWZ is going into its 64th printing. Thanks, Zombies!

Given the state of the world, and what's on the horizon, I'll be leaving X for Bluesky and Threads. Both addresses are in my bio above. Thank you for following me all these years. Hopefully I'll see you on the other side.

To any of my fellow Jews who are still undecided; remember these monsters, who Trump called “very fine people”? Remember the 2018 Tree of life Synagogue shooting, the 2019 Poway Synagogue shooting? Jews are not safe under Trump. We have to vote for our lives! #American Jews

VOTED!

Milo wants you to know that Minecraft: The Village, my 3rd and final Minecraft novel just came out in paperback. #Minecraft

Chest-thumpingly proud of my son Henry for the concept album of his show “Charles Bronson: More Than A Vigilante, The Musical”, starring Steven Weber and Lisa Loeb. Drops today on all platforms! www.youtube.com/channel/UCDU...

Like my dad, and our dog, I’m all in for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! If you don’t know how to vote, go to vote.gov #VoteBlue

Honored to be the keynote speaker for U.S. Naval War College Future Warfighting Symposium. 450 attendees. 75 Countries. No pressure. www.instagram.com/p/C-YYgcASc8...

Writing for the apocalypse; how to tell a researched, grounded disaster tale to make readers think “Oh crap, this could really happen!” This is the masterclass I’ll be teaching at ⁦@RoseCityCC⁩ later this month. See you there!

Three generations of Brooks boys. Happy Birthday, Dad. ⁦⁦ ⁦

Unbelievable! Just heard World War Z is going back for a 63rd printing! After nearly 20 years, people are still reading it?! Thanks Zombie fans! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/18957/world-war-z-by-max-brooks/

Thanks to ⁦⁦@kjmcinnis1⁩ and ⁦@CSIS⁩ for organizing our recent trip to @NATO and reaffirming that deterring aggression through unity is the best insurance policy against our children being drafted to fight in World War 3. #WeAreNATO

Thank you all for giving Tiger Chair such an amazing launch. This is the first short story I’ve ever published on its own, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the reception. Thank you, Readers! t.co/Vxhz6OrlMn

Just got back from visiting my friend ⁦@D_DELUISE⁩ (who I’ve known my ENTIRE life) at his Bigfoot Cafe in Pine Mountain, Ca. You don’t have to believe in Sasquatch, but you will definitely believe in their Cubano sandwiches!

Just got the Polish cover art for Devolution. What a cool retro look! Dziekujemy, Polsko! #sasquatch #bigfoot

There is a system worth fighting for. https://apple.news/AIJRRfeMUTL-sQdjFim-3aw

In the woods last weekend, I got a very clear “get off my lawn” look from these guys.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.

So excited that Tiger Chair, my new short story, has been chosen for Amazon first reads! Check it out now on Amazon! www.amazon.com/firstreads
