Renowned sociologist and best-selling author Eric Klinenberg turns a year of devastation into a year of revelation in this wise, deeply researched, and cathartic account of the pandemic.

What unites us? What divides us? What do we value?

Sociologist Eric Klinenberg had been studying what crises reveal about societies for over two decades when his home of New York became the deadliest hot spot of the global pandemic. In 2020, he tells the deeply reported stories of seven ordinary people trying to survive at the epicentre of the crisis and combines them with data gathered from around the world to provide unprecedented insights into what societies are made of, why they come together or fall apart, and how they shape our lives.
