David Zweig

David Zweig is a writer, lecturer, and musician based in New York. His latest book is An Abundance of Caution, a searing indictment of the American public health, media, and political establishments' decision-making process behind pandemic

school closures. His previous nonfiction book, Invisibles, about the power of embracing anonymous work in a culture

obsessed with praise and recognition, has been translated into five languages and made numerous "best of" lists. His 2009

novel, Swimming Inside The Sun, a modernist bildungsroman about identity and self-consciousness, was called a "terrific

debut from a talented writer" by Kirkus.

Zweig also released two critically acclaimed albums, All Now With Wings and Keep Going. Both albums charted on college

radio playlists and garnered accolades for Zweig, with the press calling him a "symphonic pop prodigy."

Zweig has testified twice before Congress as an expert witness on school policies during the pandemic. And his investigative

reporting on pandemic policies has been cited in numerous Congressional letters and a brief to the Supreme Court. He has

been invited to lecture at universities, academic conferences, and corporations around the U.S. and the world. As a freelance

journalist, his pieces have appeared in a variety of publications, including The Atlantic, The New York Times, The Wall Street

Journal, The Free Press, and, most often, his newsletter, Silent Lunch.
