"This is an amazing and important book: a devastatingly hard-hitting, ripping open, of capitalism and coronavirus, an incredibly well researched indictment of the 'viracene' stage/ aspect of disaster capitalism. This is a major contribution to political theory and analysis, and a guide to action and resistance." -- Dave Hill, Emeritus Professor at Anglia Ruskin University, UK, Visiting Professor at the Kapodistrian and National University of Athens, Greece; Chief Editor, Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies "Couldn't be timelier. A path-breaking book that provides a compelling new take on Covid and politics framed by a skilful synthesis of Marxism and anarchism, one that will be relevant long after this pandemic. The book is a tour de force !" --Alpesh Maisuria, Associate Professor, University of the West England, UK "A crucial and timely intervention as state and capital intervene in the Covid-19 pandemic to consolidate their grasp. Preston and Firth show how Marxist and anarchist frameworks can and must be complimentary in our analyses and resistance to power." -- Erica Lagalisse, Visiting Fellow, London School of Economics, UK.
