Dreamland: The True Tale of America’s Opiate Epidemic

bySam Quinones

From a small town in Mexico to the boardrooms of Big Pharma to main streets nationwide, an explosive and shocking account of addiction in the heartland of America. Drawing on scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, the narrative gives Dreamland a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the true tale of america’s opiate epidemic becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within social science and true crime. Dreamland ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
