Alone Together: And Other Pandemic Lies Julie R. Neidlinger Author

In March 2020, the world collapsed. It was a clever demolition, done in a gradual way that made people believe safety and security were the driving forces. We were told lies. Then we were told to live by those lies. Then we were told to enforce those lies on people around us. Lies became our truth, evil became good, and anyone who did not wish to participate in the game was forced to the periphery of both public and private life. Under pressure to conform, people had to find a different existence. They found new paths to get past the obstacles, new ways to live and thrive. Instead of choosing the path of least resistance, they chose pure resistance in every form. They showed up at meetings and rallies. They refused to be silent. They refused to comply. Most importantly, they refused to live by lies. What this looked like depended upon where you lived and the people around you. This book is one possible path.
