A revelatory work of intimate investigative journalism: William Burroughs for the Breaking Bad generation. Luke Williams was a freelance journalist researching addiction to crystal methamphetamine when the worst possible thing happened - he became addicted to it himself. Over the next three months, he descended into psychosis. This dark, raw story charts Williams' recovery from crystal-meth addiction, and his investigation into its usage and prevalence today. It also traces the history of methamphetamine: from its legal usage in the early 20th century, to its contemporary status as one of the most feared drugs in the world.
Luke Williams is an Australian journalist. He has previously worked as a reporter and broadcaster at ABC radio. His written work has been published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Saturday Paper, the Brisbane Times, Crikey, The Global Mail, The Weekend Australian and Eureka Street. In 2013 he was nominated for a Human Rights Media Award for a long-form investigative piece in The Global Mail, and in 2014 his article on ice addiction, 'Life as a Crystal Meth Addict', was a finalist in the Walkley Awards for Excellence in Journalism.
