APOLLO S ARROW is a captivating exploration of the profound impact of the coronavirus pandemic on American society during its unfolding in 2020, as well as the anticipated trajectory of recovery in the years to come. Drawing upon a rich tapestry of captivating case studies and cutting-edge research spanning various scientific disciplines, bestselling author, physician, and sociologist Nicholas Christakis delves into the enigmatic essence of living in a time of plague, a phenomenon that may be uncommon to the majority of humans alive, yet holds profound significance for our species as a whole. This 21st-century pandemic has unleashed unprecedented divisions within our society, presenting both challenges and opportunities for cooperation. It has tested, but not yet vanquished, the resilience and vitality of our culture, which has been frayed by years of social and economic upheaval. APOLLO S ARROW offers a thought-provoking vision of what transpires when the formidable force of a deadly germ collides with the enduring reality of our evolved social nature. Through a myriad of novel and provocative arguments, accompanied by vivid examples spanning medicine, history, sociology, epidemiology, data science, and genetics, the book paints a vivid picture of the complex interplay between science, society, and human behavior in the face of a global health crisis.
