Emily Witt, who would soon publish her first book on sex in the digital age, had recently quit antidepressants for a more expansive world of psychedelic experimentation. From her apartment in Brooklyn, she began to catch glimpses of the clandestine nightlife scene thrumming around her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHealth and Safety, \u003c\/i\u003eWitt charts her immersion into New York City's dance music underground. Emily would come to lead a double life. By day she worked as a journalist, covering gun violence, climate catastrophes, and the rallies of right-wing militias. And by night she pushed the limits of consciousness in hollowed-out office spaces and warehouses to music that sounded like the future. But no counterculture, no matter how utopian, could stave off the squalor of American politics and the cataclysm of 2020. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAffectionate yet never sentimental, \u003ci\u003eHealth and Safety\u003c\/i\u003e is a lament for a broken relationship, for a changed nightlife scene, and for New York City just before the fall. Sparing no one--least of all herself--Witt offers her life as a lens onto an era of American delirium and dissolution.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Witt\u003c\/b\u003e has been a staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e since 2018.
