1. Everyone should read Dreamland. Even if you think you know the Opioid story, you don't know half of it. And completely aside from that, it's really well written.

2. One thing I took away from Dreamland was that there wasn't one factor to blame. Instead it was 4-6 separate factors that came together in a nightmarish perfect storm vortex to create this crisis.

Which means the pharmaceutical companies have plenty of blame here, but still only 20-30% of the total.

4-6 sounds like it could be summarized without reading an entire book. :)

Sure, but where is the fun in that :) Also, I don't think I can do it justice from memory.
