ABSTRACT

“My internet hunt for heroin took five minutes—less time than lacing up my shoes and backing out of the driveway. I was spoiled for choice: 121 options for opioids, 243 for ecstasy, 339 varieties of weed, 45 dissociatives. Stimulants, downers, psychedelics—a global network of sellers stood ready to ship them all to my door in ‘discreet packaging’ that might arrive from Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, or even India” (Anderson, 2013: 229). Thus, Nate Anderson provides the outer frame in his concluding material in Internet Police.
