In Absurdistan, psychologist Robert Rosic offers a searing, darkly humorous examination of how the world responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. From the toilet paper hoarding of early 2020 to the labyrinthine contradictions of lockdown policies, mask mandates, and vaccine passports, Rosic chronicles a global "detour into delirium" with the keen eye of a clinician and the sharp wit of a satirist.
Drawing on his professional background in psychology and his lived experience navigating pandemic policies in Canada, Rosic dissects the fear-driven decisions, institutional overreach, and abandonment of reason that defined the era. A provocative critique of groupthink, scientific overreach, and the erosion of individual liberty, Absurdistan is both a cautionary tale and a call to remember—so that we never repeat the mistakes of the past.
