This leads her to discover that AIDS and the internet developed on parallel timelines, giving basis to the metaphor of "going viral." Chasing this idea through anecdotes, TV shows, scientific papers, Wikipedia entries, and internet history, McCalden forms a synaptic experience of what happened to her family, one that leads to an unexpected discovery about who her parents might have been. Entwining this intensely personal search with a much wider cultural narrative of what the virus and virality mean in our post-pandemic era, The Observable Universe is a prismatic account of heartbreak and reckoning"-- |
