An insightful, thoughtful, and complex engagement with the relations among people and the entangled assemblages of contagious phenomena we call ‘viruses’—charting vital points of attachment from art, to science, to theory. * Alexis Shotwell, Professor, Department of Sociology & Anthropology, Carleton University, Canada * Tracing viruses and virality through science, technology, medicine, and metaphor, this book draws on the powerful illuminations of art to consider how viruses can help us move beyond our dichotomies and productively contemplate the way we individually and collectively choose to live in the world. * Priscilla Wald, R. Florence Brinkley Distinguished Professor of English, Duke University, USA *
