Sam Quinones's The Least of Us (2021) is an in-depth analysis of drug use and addiction in America, and how it has been exacerbated by Mexican smugglers, drug traffickers, and pharmaceutical companies. Quinones chronicles the American opioid epidemic and explores the far-reaching damage generated by the meth and fentanyl crises. This follow-up to his bestseller Dreamland is a powerful combination of scientific research and new insights into the reality of drug use.

From real-life experiences of drug victims and addicts, Quinones tells stories of pain, weakness, and wreckage. He also reveals how food chains and international corporations indirectly use the language of drugs to target consumers and satisfy their cravings.
