THE THINKERS
 DETOUR 2020
​   A CROSS-COUNTRY DRIVE THROUGH AMERICA'S WRONG TURNS
A book written by Brad Herzog and masterfully illustrated by Zachary Pullen. With an introduction by Ira Flatow.

While this may appear to be a book about remarkable people (69 of the most impactful scientists and inventors in human history), it is actually about the potential of the human mind.

THE THINKERS celebrates the prospect of looking up through a telescope or down through a microscope and discovering previously undiscovered wonders. It rejoices in the visionaries who noticed a need and conjured up an enduring solution, or who turned the germ of an idea into a seminal concept, or who obsessively tinkered until they arrived at an invention that changed the world.

 In 2020, America reached an inflection point. So Brad Herzog decided to take a drive, coast to coast. His goal: Chronicle 2020 -- not in hindsight, but in real time. 

DETOUR 2020 takes the reader to Jamestown and Appomattox, Hazard and Dodge City, Metropolis and Roswell, the Little House on the Prairie and the Grand Canyon. Each stop allows examination of an American wrong turn -- entrenched and emboldened racism, xenophobia, conspiracism, science denial, uncivil discourse, malignant leadership. With wit and insight, Herzog takes us on an expedition into the heart of a nation and its tragic deviations.
