About this product
Product Information
Now a New York Times bestseller and from the author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and brilliant exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated forces: shame. 'It's about the terror, isn't it?' 'The terror of what?' I said. 'The terror of being found out.' For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a hurricane and the next thing they know they're being torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized, sometimes even fired from their job. A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our voice? We are mercilessly finding people's faults. We are defining the boundaries of normality by ruining the lives of those outside it. We are using shame as a form of social control. Simultaneously powerful and hilarious in the way only Jon Ronson can be, So You've Been Publicly Shamed is a deeply honest book about modern life, full of eye-opening truths about the escalating war on human flaws - and the very scary part we all play in it.

Reviews
"Clever and thought-provoking, this book has the potential to open an important dialogue about faux moral posturing online and its potentially disastrous consequences." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Jon Ronson "You have developed something...it's almost like a new category of investigative satire. You go and you explore with great intellectual curiosity, but you find a way to make it very funny."--Jon Stewart to Jon Ronson, on The Daily Show "So entertaining...a smarter, nuttier version of The Tipping Point or Blink ...Mr. Ronson...follows his trail of bread crumbs to the realms that really matter...Somehow he is able to keep his book both light and nightmarish...He remains terrifically adept at capturing the horror of these developments without losing track of their lunacy." --Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Jon Ronson's writing is so charming, so entertaining and strange I would follow him anywhere, including a maximum security prison." --Sarah Vowell, New York Times- bestselling author of Unfamiliar Fishes, "This is a wonderful book." -Jon Stewart "[A] simultaneously lightweight and necessary book." - Esquire "A work of original, inspired journalism." - The Financial Times "[So You've Been Publicly Shamed] is both entertaining and fair -- a balance we could use a lot more of, online and off." - Vulture "Ronson is an entertaining and provocative writer, with a broad reach ...[ So You've Been Publicly Shamed ] is a well-reported, entertainingly written account of an important subject." -The Oregonian "Ronson is a fun writer to read...fascinating." - Fast Company "[So You've Been Publicly Shamed] promises to be the most relevant book of the year." -FlavorWire "I was sickly fascinated by the book. I think it's Ronson's best book." -Mark Frauenfelder for BoingBoing "With confidence, verve, and empathy, Ronson skillfully informs and engages the reader without excusing those caught up in the shame game. As he stresses, we are the ones wielding this incredible power over others' lives, often with no regard for the lasting consequences of our actions." -Starred Booklist Review "Clever and thought-provoking, this book has the potential to open an important dialogue about faux moral posturing online and its potentially disastrous consequences." - Publishers Weekly , Praise for Jon Ronson "You have developed something…it's almost like a new category of investigative satire.

Without losing any of the clever agility that makes his books so winning, he has taken on truly consequential material and risen to the challenge....fascinating...shocking...Mr. Ronson's gift for detail-picking is, as ever, a treat." - The New York Times "A sharp-eyed and often hilarious book...Jon Ronson has written a fresh, big-hearted take on an important and timely topic. He has nothing to be ashamed of." -NPR.org "A diligent investigator and a wry, funny writer, Ronson manages to be at once academic and entertaining." - The Boston Globe "This book really needed to be written." -Salon.com "It's sharply observed, amusingly told, and, while its conclusions may stop just short of profound, the true pleasure of the book lies in arriving at those conclusions." -The Onion, AV Club "Like all of Ronson's books, this one is hard to put down, but you will absolutely do so at some point to Google yourself." -TheMillions.com "An irresistibly gossipy cocktail with a chaser of guilt." - Newsday "With So You've Been Publicly Shamed Ronson has written a timely, interesting and titillating read for any Internet drama junkie." -PopMatters.com "[A] simultaneously lightweight and necessary book." - Esquire "A work of original, inspired journalism." - The Financial Times "[So You've Been Publicly Shamed] is both entertaining and fair -- a balance we could use a lot more of, online and off." - Vulture "Ronson is an entertaining and provocative writer, with a broad reach ...[ So You've Been Publicly Shamed ] is a well-reported, entertainingly written account of an important subject." -The Oregonian "Ronson is a fun writer to read...fascinating." - Fast Company "I was mesmerized. And I was also disturbed." - Forbes "[So You've Been Publicly Shamed] promises to be the most relevant book of the year." -FlavorWire "I was sickly fascinated by the book.

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
