ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Dreamland” by Sam Quinones explores the origins and impact of the opioid epidemic in the United States. The book examines how a combination of factors—economic decline, the rise of powerful pharmaceutical companies, and the emergence of heroin trafficking networks—fueled a national crisis. Quinones delves into the stories of individuals, families, and communities affected by addiction, highlighting the devastating consequences on both personal and societal levels. Through personal narratives and detailed analysis, Dreamland sheds light on the interconnected forces driving the epidemic and emphasizes the human toll of widespread addiction and overdose.
