Is anyone ever truly lost in the internet age? A moving, original memoir of a young woman reckoning with her parents’ absence, the virus that took them, and what it means to search for meaning in a hyperconnected world. In the early 1990s, Heather McCalden lost both her parents to AIDS. She was seven when her father died, ten when she lost her mother. Raised by her grandmother, Nivia, she grew up in Los Angeles, also known as ground zero for the virus and its destruction. Years later, she begins researching online the history of HIV as a way to deal with her loss, which leads her to the unexpected realization that the AIDS crisis and the internet developed on parallel timelines. By accumulating whatever fragments she could about both phenomena—images, anecdotes, and scientific entries—alongside her own personal history, McCalden forms a synaptic journey of what happened to her family, one that leads to an equally unexpected discovery about who her parents might have been. Entwining this personal search with a wider cultural narrative of what the virus and virality mean in our times—interrogating what it means to “go viral” in an era of explosive biochemical and virtual contagion—The Observable Universe is at once a history of our viral culture and a prismatic account of grief in the internet age.

互联网时代，有人真正迷失过吗？这部感人至深的原创 memoir 讲述了一位年轻人如何面对双亲去世、病毒夺走他们以及在高度互联的世界中寻找意义的过程。在20世纪90年代初期，Heather McCalden 在艾滋病摧毁了她的父母后仅七岁时失去父亲，在十岁那年失去了母亲。她在外祖母 Nivia 的抚养下长大，长居于洛杉矶——这个病毒肆虐之地的中心地带。多年以后，她开始在网上研究艾滋病的历史，以此作为应对悲伤的方式，这让她意外地意识到艾滋病危机与互联网的发展是在并行的时间线上展开的。 McCalden 通过收集关于两种现象的所有碎片——图片、轶事和科学条目——以及她的个人历史，形成了对她家庭经历的一段神经元旅程，这段旅程又揭示了她父母可能是什么样的人。将这一私人搜索与我们时代病毒性和传播性的文化叙事交织在一起，并审视在爆炸式的生物化学和虚拟传染的时代里“病毒性传播”的含义——她以一种同时是关于我们的病毒文化的历史和互联网时代的哀悼的多棱镜式叙述，完成了这部作品。
