Digital Pandemic: Covid-19: How Tech Went From Bad to Good

by Michael Bockiurkiw

In early 2020 on a writing sabbatical, Michael Bociurkiw was on Spain’s frontier with Gibraltar when his phone started receiving texts from Asia about a mysterious disease sickening hundreds of people in China’s Hubei province. Little did he know at the time that it would quickly morph into the deadliest pandemic in modern history. His early reporting and commentary on what would become known as the coronavirus pandemic has now been collated into the first real time report on the crisis. What follows is a bold global analysis from someone with a truly unique international perspective.

An absolute page turner! I read this book during my Transatlantic flight and finished it front to back in one trip. The writer adds much flavour to his writing as he provides a bold and insightful analysis on major events which shaped the Covid-19 pandemic. The book leaves readers seriously reflecting on our current trends in tech.

Covers the good as well as the not so good in this digital era.

Packs a punch. Reflections on on our own habits in the digital era. A must for Gen Z'ers. Well done!

With a very unique perspective based on his illustrious career in journalism, Michael Bociurkiw tells the story of the convergence of Covid and tech in which our identity as a race is threatened. Both fascinating and at times funny, this book reads quickly and left me further along than it found me in my knowledge of the serious issues we face globally post-pandemic, offering some hope even as tech and A.I. threaten to disrupt everything familiar, including the wiring of our brains.
