Navigating Crisis Through a Layman’s Lens: Steve Gleadhill's “O Brave ‘New Normal’ World” Chronicles the Pandemic’s First Impact TOMAH, WI, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ --

In “O Brave ‘New Normal’ World”, author Steve Gleadhill invites readers to relive and reflect on one of the most transformative global events of the 21st century—the COVID-19 pandemic. This compelling first installment in a four-part series dissects the initial chaos of the crisis, painting a vivid and thought-provoking picture of how the virus abruptly reshaped our everyday lives.

With a keen observational eye and a deeply personal approach, Gleadhill offers more than just a record of events. He presents an accessible, comprehensive look at the immediate social, political, and emotional upheavals that defined the pandemic’s early days. Far from a technical or academic take, the book delivers a heartfelt, insightful layman’s perspective—one that resonates with readers around the world who endured the same shared experience of uncertainty, fear, and transformation.

“As the lockdowns began, I felt compelled to start documenting what was happening—not as an expert, but as someone trying to make sense of a world that suddenly looked and felt unfamiliar,” Gleadhill shares. “This book represents the first wave of observations: how we adapted, how systems failed or prevailed, and how quickly our 'normal' collapsed.”

“O Brave ‘New Normal’ World” is the beginning of a sweeping series that continues to chronicle the pandemic’s unfolding consequences—long-term societal, institutional, and psychological reverberations that are still being felt today.
