Summary
A striking perspective on virality as a driving force of the future, this book blends personal narrative and investigative research to decipher / decode / shed light on / interpret the challenges of our time. Thierry Bardini [co-investigator, Université de Montréal], a recognized scholar in science and technology studies, explores in this work the rise of viruses — biological, cultural, or digital — as a hallmark of a transforming capitalism he describes as “genetic.” By tracing their emergence, from religious imaginaries of contagion to contemporary biotechnologies, he analyzes how virality is redefining, among other things, social crises and ecological dynamics. This book is intended both for researchers and for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the mechanisms shaping our world.
