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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmily Witt\u003c\/b\u003e is a staff writer at \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e.
