Interview
Going Viral,
by Ester Lázaro
Interview
What does a virus have in common with an idea?
A virus uses the resources of its host to replicate itself and spread. Ideas, information, news, etc. jump from one mind to another and, in this way, they replicate themselves and spread. Virality is a dynamic of ideas, but it has a lot of parallels with the biological dynamics of viruses. In this interview, we will find out what lessons we can carry over from biology to sociology and psychology to tackle this phenomenon which is now of a pressing matter.
