"""A remarkable contribution to the growing field of pandemic studies, Viral Worlds tracks forms of relations constitutive of COVID-19 pandemic. ‘Viral worlding’ is the conceptual frame that illuminates interlaced relationalities, in a book that bridges international politics, theories of global society, and interdisciplinary studies of media."" Bishnupriya Ghosh, Professor of English and Global Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, and author of The Virus Touch: Theorizing Epidemic Media (2023) ""Rather than present a linear narrative of the pandemic or case studies cropped around national borders, Long T. Bui’s Viral World performs the looping disjointed sense of time emblematic of this crisis. The book ambitiously traverses the world and jumps scales like the coronavirus itself. It is a daring holistic effort that aims to capture the multiple dimensions of COVID-19.""
