I read this April 2016, I had previously read the Psychopath Test and really enjoyed it. I have seen some Ted Talks that Jon Ronson has given and enjoyed them. I heard about this on a TV programme and wanted to read it.
Jon went to interview the subjects of public shamings. People who had made a bad taste joke or had misquoted something, or lied. Jon was a victim of a spambot himself (someone who uses your identity on twitter to post false posts.
This is a really interesting book - non fiction, and has lots of research and cases in.
Worrying that we can all be the subject of internet trolls,
Be careful what you post folks...
