Social Contagion and other material on microbiological class war in China includes an expanded and updated version of “Social Contagion,” a widely read (and perspicuous) article originally published online by Chuang on February 26, 2020, and collects interviews and translations with activists on the ground. The book concludes with a new, long-form article on the role that the pandemic played in China’s ongoing state-building project.
