Un nuevo virus irrumpe en un pa???is lejano, aunque no tan lejano. La Tierra se ha vuelto peque???na. D???ia tras d???ia, billones de impulsos digitales transportan la informaci???on a la velocidad de la luz de un punto a otro del planeta; infinidad de aviones surcan los cielos, borrando fronteras a su paso y trasladando sin pausa a millares de personas; y, a menor velocidad, miles de toneladas de mercanc???ias se mueven en todas direcciones en un incesante intercambio mercantil que nutre la econom???ia global. Y si los bienes materiales llegan hasta los lugares m???as rec???onditos con inusitada fluidez, con mayor celeridad a???un se transmiten los elementos intangibles consustanciales al ser humano: la palabra, las ideas, los sentimientos, las emociones. As???i pues, ante la amenaza de un virus letal de alcance universal, una mir???iada de opiniones, conjeturas y teor???ias de todo tipo -desde aquellas basadas en el rigor de la ciencia hasta las que brotan de la f???ertil imaginaci???on de iluminados y charlatanes- nos envuelve como un sofocante alud que nos dificulta ver, pensar y decidir con sensatez. En este contexto tan especial, Paolo Giordano comparte con encomiable honestidad y valent???ia una serie de reflexiones y emociones que le provoca esta inaudita situaci???on, poniendo de manifiesto otra vez una rara virtud para aunar dos mundos supuestamente irreconciliables: la contundente racionalidad del cient???ifico con la vulnerabilidad y las incertezas propias de un escritor sensible y comprometido.
