Fans of Strauss and Howe's "Generations" may remember a reference to "The Crisis of 2020." Well, we're living through it.
In addition to "The Crisis of 2020," I recall something else from "Generations" applicable to today--the crisis would become a whirlwind of a single issue sweeping up all other issues into it. Isn't that how the pandemic seems to unfolding? It seems to have completely absorbed work, politics, and society into it. Even the environment is being viewed through the lens of how people's response to the pandemic is affecting it.
