David Pavón-Cuéllar's virulent new book has a set of attributes that deserve to be mentioned. According to the author's academic prowess, it enjoys an exemplary bibliographic rake, which covers and orders the wide spectrum of pandemic prophethood: iek, Nancy, Sotiris, Bois, Klein, Berardi, Han, Agamben, Savater, Alemán, and others. The list is extended, forked, and vectorized.

It is a sharp and fast text, written with effervescence. Its main thesis, that the viral pandemic should be understood as a symptom of capital, understood as the end of the world, transcends the

undeniably the diffuse siege of the current pandemic situation, forcing the reader into the shared abyss of planetary desolation.

Capital Virus is a book in which the texts are at the service of problems, never the other way around. It can be defined, then, as a practical book that incorporates an ethics of habits, a sharp reading of that harmonious superposition of contradictions that we call reality, and a strenuous effort to move its readers from the hothouse of indignation.
