Nobody Disposable

When institutions chose fear, a room of strangers chose truth and kept people alive. Nobody Disposable is Shaun J Apple's firsthand account of the harm-reduction communities he helped build and hold, including Bluelight and r/trees, where anonymous people shared practical information around the clock when official systems would not. It is a history of one of the early internet's most humane experiments, written by someone who was inside it.
Clear-eyed about drugs, dignity, shame, policy, and public health, the book asks what happens when honest information is treated as dangerous and human lives are treated as expendable. It argues for a simple principle: every person counts, and truthful, compassionate information can save lives.
