"""How can we secure ourselves against a life-form that is invisible yet omnipresent? Untouchable yet capable of remaking the planet? Gloria Chan-Sook Kim’s visual methodology proposes a clear optic for understanding how global health responses to microbial threats will fail unless we wrestle with the systems that perpetuate the conditions for the next mutant microbe on the horizon.""—Stefanie R. Fishel, author of The Microbial State: Global Thriving and the Body Politic   ""Now that we all care about microbial emergence, here is a fabulous book—researched just prior to the Covid-19 pandemic—that gives us the epistemological tools to understand it. Gloria Chan-Sook Kim’s timely study examines the scientific practices, media, and discourses that anticipate microbial populations to come, ever attentive to the visual politics of resolution.""—Melody Jue, author of Wild Blue Media: Thinking through Seawater  "
