Following multiple case studies across dozens of countries throughout the course of the pandemic this book is a timely contribution to cultural knowledge about the pandemic and the viral politics at the heart of it. Mapping the various forms of global consciousness and connectivity engendered by the crisis the book offers the framework of "viral worlding " defined as viral forms of relationality becoming and communication. It demonstrates how worlding or world - making processes accelerated with the novel coronavirus. New emergent forms of being global "went viral" to address conditions of inequality as well as forge possibilities for societal transformation. Considering the tumult wrought by the pandemic Bui analyzes progressive movements for democracy abolition feminism environmentalism and socialism against the world - shattering forces of capitalism authoritarianism racism and militarism.
