A Deeper Sickness

In A Deeper Sickness, historians Margaret Peacock and Erik Peterson analyze the tumultuous year of 2020, exploring the convergence of four pandemics: disease, disinformation, poverty, and violence. Through interdisciplinary research and firsthand accounts from a diverse range of experts, they delve into the social, political, and historical contexts that shaped this chaotic period. Presented in journal-entry format and accompanied by archival images, the work serves as both a critical reflection on a nation grappling with multiple crises and a tribute to human resilience. Readers are also invited to share their experiences through an interactive digital museum.
