520    "We are only just beginning to reckon with our post-
       pandemic future. As political extremism intensifies, the 
       great resignation affects businesses everywhere, and 
       supply chain issues crush bottom lines, we're faced with 
       daunting questions - is our democracy under threat? How 
       will Big Tech change our lives? What does job security 
       look like for me? America is on the brink of massive 
       change - change that will disrupt the workings of our 
       economy and drastically impact the financial backbone of 
       our nation: the middle class. In Adrift, Galloway looks to
       the past - from 1945 to present day - to explain just how 
       America arrived at this precipice. Telling the story of 
       our nation through 100 charts, Galloway demonstrates how 
       crises such as Jim Crow, World War II, and the Stock 
       Market Crash of 2008, as well as the escalating power of 
       technology, an entrenched white patriarchy, and the socio-
       economic effects of the pandemic, created today's perfect 
       storm. Adrift attempts to make sense of it all, and offers
       Galloway's unique take on where we're headed and who we'll
       become, touching on topics as wide-ranging as online 
       dating to minimum wage to the American dream. Just as in 
       1945 and 1980, America is once again a nation at a 
       crossroads. This time, what will it take for our nation to
       keep up with the fast and violent changes to our new 
       world?" --|cPublisher marketing.
