The Social Contagion
Viral Ideologies & The Culture War for America’s Future
The Social Contagion is a literary immunization for the “viruses of the mind” that have taken over the Western World since COVID’s outbreak. It analyzes the memes pervading the contemporary American psyche, shaping individual perceptions and group identities. The world endured a collective trauma that pitted communities against each other in a cultural civil war over constitutional freedoms. This surprisingly humorous new book about the ideological splits that have arisen in the US since 2020 depicts the everyman’s search for truth, justice and social change within a biased information ecosystem. The Social Contagion is a rallying cry for a centrist revival – outlining the media’s combating portrayals of the public health interventions and political movements of that era, to make sense of the shifting values of the left and right and a path toward societal amends inside of our new normal.

The Millennial’s Guide to Changing the World
A New Generation’s Handbook to Being Yourself & Living with Purpose
Published in 2018 by Skyhorse Publishing and represented by the Nancy Owen Barton Literary Agency, The Millennial’s Guide to Changing the World takes you on a coming-of-age journey through the zany millennial zeitgeist. Hundreds of people were interviewed in this ethnographic study on a generation in transition. Their stories are commemorated here, as well as inquiries into the nature of 21st century complex adaptive systems, youth culture, and how intergenerational tensions can contribute to critical mass conversions.
“The Millennial’s Guide to Changing the World is heartfelt, discerning, candid, comprehensive, and stubbornly hopeful. It’s exactly what we need in a roadmap to the future.”
—Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
