Emily Witt, who would soon publish her first book on sex in the digital age, had recently quit antidepressants for a more expansive world of psychedelic experimentation. From her apartment in Brooklyn, she began to catch glimpses of the clandestine nightlife scene thrumming around her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHealth and Safety, \u003c\/i\u003eWitt charts her immersion into New York City's dance music underground, where she pushed the limits of consciousness in hollowed-out office spaces and warehouses to music that sounded like the future, and all during an era of American delirium and dissolution. Sparing no one--least of all Witt herself--\u003ci\u003eHealth and Safety\u003c\/i\u003e is a lament for a broken relationship, for a changed nightlife scene, and for New York City just before the fall.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67391605669933,"sku":"WHS-efcfaa5cc1c54d428ce18fb13b824590","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_973bcfbe-cf26-464b-bcb1-6911396ea44c.jpg?v=1787355765","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/health-and-safety-a-breakdown","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
