Unlike memes and microbial contagions, virality does not restrict itself to biological analogies and medical metaphors. It instead points toward a theory of contagious assemblages, events, and affects. Contagion is not necessarily a positive or negative force of encounter; it is how society comes together and relates. The book argues that a biological knowledge of contagion has been universally distributed by way of the rhetoric of fear in the antivirus industry and other popular discourses surrounding network culture. 606 $aImitation 606 $aSocial interaction 606 $aCrowds 615 0$aImitation. 615 0$aSocial interaction. 615 0$aCrowds. 676 $a302/.41 700 $aSampson$b Tony D$01096454 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808140303321 996 $aVirality$94005861 997 $aUNINA
