Synopsis "Lo viral (in Spanish)"

¿El siglo XXI empezó con la caída de las Torres
Gemelas de Nueva York o con la entrada de un virus
en el cuerpo de un hombre en Wuhan? ¿Es el SARSCoV-2 el primer patógeno cyborg? ¿Netflix, Zoom o
Amazon son multinacionales pandémicas? ¿Cómo se
puede representar la transformación de la ciencia
ficción en realidad cotidiana? Lo viral es, al mismo
tiempo, una reconstrucción histórica de los primeros
meses del coronavirus, un ensayo fragmentario sobre
la viralidad digital, la memoria de una biblioteca en
cuarentena, un experimento de crítica cultural y un
diario falso pero sincero.

Un diario ficcional que acomoda los días a las reflexiones para mostrar que un género como este se puede combinar de maravilla con el ensayo. Al final importa más lo que se puede decir de cada evolución viral y tecnológica en la vida que ha acelerado la dependencia y el uso de herramientas quizá muy útiles, pero esto dependerá de los humanos como siempre.
