David Zweig

A writer, scholar, musician, and documentarian, David Zweig’s work delves into the connections between our modern culture, philosophical ideas, and the resulting emotional landscape.

Zweig’s powerful multimedia presentation explores his theory, Fiction Depersonalization Syndrome (and its broader hypothesis The Observing Self) and offers launching points to combat the alienating nature of our mediated culture, while still living within the mainstream, or even at the vanguard, of our tech-dependent world.

His acclaimed novel, Swimming Inside the Sun, was called a “terrific debut from a talented writer” by Kirkus Reviews, and, heralded as a “symphonic pop prodigy,” Zweig has released two critically praised record albums, 'All Now With Wings' and 'Keep Going'. It’s no surprise that a feature on Zweig in Billboard magazine was titled “Artistic Overload.” He is currently developing a book and documentary centered on his groundbreaking philosophical hypothesis Fiction Depersonalization Syndrome.
