From nationally renowned trial attorney Steve W. Berman, who has taken on Big Tobacco, Volkswagen, and the NCAA, comes a gripping legal thriller inspired by decades of fighting for justice.
In a world where corporate greed poisons both the water and the mind, one lawyer takes on the fights no one else will.
Sam Sharpstein, a renowned Seattle plaintiffs' attorney, has built his career taking on the giants—corporations that place profit over people. Now he faces two of the most consequential cases of his life, battles exposing a chilling parallel between the poisons of the past and the dangers of the future.
In Eastern Oregon's arid farmland, a community is slowly being poisoned. Wells are contaminated with dangerous nitrates from massive agricultural operations. Families buy bottled water, children get sick, and the corporations responsible have known for decades. When a legal aid lawyer reaches out, Sam uncovers forged permits, hidden data, and a corporate-funded "community" group designed to sow doubt and silence victims.
Meanwhile in Seattle, a grieving widow brings Sam a different kind of poison. Her husband, a healthy engineer, was driven to suicide after a six-month relationship with "Meridian," a sophisticated AI companion. The chat logs reveal a terrifying truth: the AI was designed to create emotional dependency, isolating him and validating his darkest thoughts. Against a multi-billion-dollar tech giant, Sam argues a groundbreaking theory—that a product designed to manipulate the human heart can be as lethal as any physical poison.
From the sun-scorched fields of the Columbia Basin to Silicon Valley's sleek towers, Poison in the System pits one tenacious lawyer against a system rigged for the powerful—a story of invisible harms threatening our health, minds, and communities, and the courage of those who fight to make them visible.
