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.
