They can vent together later about the menaces in their worlds. The villain of Maggie's world is NOT zombies. The zombies are just... worldbuilding. Not plot.
finished the book and I stand by my earlier opinion that Anna is Maggie's sort of person. Her site unraveled a truly massive conspiracy, and Maggie might not report the news herself but she sure was there bolstering them every step of the way out of equal parts fury and love. She can get behind people analyzing abusers of power in order to tear them apart.
She's functioning in a fucked up system and a fucked up world and most of what she does is more about revealing the truth and making people face their own garbage than it is about manufacturing things, other than the little annoyances her team does
considered Quantum Entanglement but want more canon before that
