In the 1850s the social and political theorist Alexis de
Tocqueville spoke of 'a virus of a new and unknown kind' to explain
the inexplicable failure of the French Revolution. This book uses
Tocqueville's idea of the virus to explore the fatal relationship
between the concepts of utopia and dystopia in western social and
political thought. It traces this relationship from Ancient Greece
to post-modern America and attempts to untangle their apparently
fatal connection through a new virology that might promote a less
paranoid future for our global society.
