Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2022 by Literary Hub

A leading microbiologist tackles the scientific and sociopolitical impact of viruses in twelve striking essays.

Invisible in the food we eat, the people we kiss, and inside our own bodies, viruses flourish—with the power to shape not only our health, but our social, political, and economic systems. Drawing on his expertise in microbiology, Joseph Osmundson brings readers under the microscope to understand the structure and mechanics of viruses and to examine how viruses like HIV and COVID-19 have redefined daily life.

Osmundson’s buoyant prose builds on the work of the activists and thinkers at the forefront of the HIV/AIDS crisis and critical scholars like José Esteban Munoz to navigate the intricacies of risk reduction, draw parallels between queer theory and hard science, and define what it really means to “go viral.” This dazzling multidisciplinary collection offers novel insights on illness, sex, and collective responsibility. Virology is a critical warning, a necessary reflection, and a call for a better future.

Special thanks to Ngofeen Mputubwele, Steven D. Booth, and David Barr, whose voices were featured on the audiobook

Performance wise, I was struck by the emotive was of the author during the reading - hearing the author talk about the passing of friends is powerful stuff.

Emotive & Timely

It’s hard to say who Osmudson wrote this for. The sections explaining how Covid, HIV and other viruses work provide valuable explanations of the science of viruses. But interspersing science with description of what he wore to his favorite leather bar after the Covid restrictions were lifted, or a boyfriend’s taste for public sex, are bound to sour some and leave many perplexed. Science is neither gay nor straight nor bi. Where was the editor when the author was assembling this mash-up?
