Lest we Forget . . .
Reset or Renaissance offers a real-time chronicle of events unfolding during the heated core of the Covid pandemic: the latter half of 2021, shortly after the rollout of the Covid vaccines. The book is no dull factual affair, but an impassioned critical engagement, distinctly literary in style, that offers a broader and deeper understanding of the scientific, sociopolitical, and spiritual dimensions of the Covid moment.
Combining documentary poetics with rigorous analysis of the flood of Covid misinformation, this volume records one American citizens concerted attempt to make intellectual and moral sense of a tumultuous time that shook the foundations of the world.
The historic drama surrounding Covid continues to unfold. Daniel Polikoff aims to translate knowledge of the recent past into a vision of the future guided by truth rather illusion, perspicacity rather than prejudice, and conscience rather than calumny.
Industry Reviews
"Both a readable scientific treatise and a passionate appeal to reason, Daniel Polikoff has assembled a landmark narrative that will stand the test of time."
---- DICK RUSSELL, best-selling author of The Life and Ideas of James Hillman and The Real RFK Jr."Expertly guiding us through the substantial amount of scientific evidence, shifting guidelines, and online rhetoric, Daniel Polikoff skillfully weaves together a narrative tapestry depicting the events of the last four years. No matter where you may stand after giving this material open consideration, you will be more empowered to trust your own judgment. This is a rare and precious gift at a most interesting time in our history."
---- DR. MADHAVA SETTY, author of Woke: An Anesthesiologist's View"This is the book society has been waiting for--indeed, a masterpiece--and one that really needed to be written. The book provides a unique and invaluable flashback of the Covid pandemic. The author describes salient events in a manner that is both objective and deeply philosophical while providing profound historical and literary background. There is a reasonable chance that this book will succeed in bringing people back together rather than further polarizing them. First and foremost, let's hope the author's wish may be fulfilled: that the insight provided will empower readers to consider which path they may now choose to take--one that leads towards a technocratic, undemocratic, dehumanizing future, or one that tends toward Social Beauty."
