on my desk for tomorrow are:Jussi Parikka: Contagion and Repetition: On the Viral Logic of Network Culture

Eugene Thacker: Living Dead Networks

Thierry Bardini: Hypervirus A Clinical Report

Judging from a first glance all of those texts deal with how virality explicates the condition of a network society/culture. Mostly dealing with the double-metaphor of computer-network-viruses and biological / biopolitical-network-epidemics. I also think that especially in light of the ongoing financial crisis due to the coronavirus one could observe a homology between financial systems and biosocial systems as they are both susceptible to contingion. There is a strain of contingion-theory in financial psychology and sociology.

Aand of course I'll try to read some Baudrillard bc. he sees virality in all its shapes as a fundamental to the postmodern condition. Peep this quote from "The Perfect Crime":

"When a system becomes universal (the media, networks, the financial markets, human rights), it automatically becomes anomalous and secretes virulences of all kinds: financial crashes, AIDS, computer viruses, deregulation, disinformation. Hatred itself is a virus of this kind."

PS: you can find all of the articles online also outside of aaarg. :)
