From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, a captivating and fantastic exploration of one of our world's most underappreciated pushes: 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 general public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that arrived badly, or made a blunder at work. Once their transgression is unveiled, collective outrage circles with the pressure of the hurricane and the next matter they know they're being torn aside by an furious mob, jeered at, demonized, sometimes even fired off their job. A great renaissance of general public shaming is sweeping our land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are getting a speech. But what are we doing with this voice? We could mercilessly finding people's faults. We could defining the limitations 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, packed with eye-opening truths about the escalating battle on human flaws - and the scary part most of us play in it. Jon Ronson can be an award-winning copy writer and documentary manufacturer. He is the author of two bestsellers, Them: Journeys with Extremists and The Men Who Stare at Goats, and two choices, Out of the Ordinary: True Stories of Everyday Craziness and What I Do: More True Stories of Everyday Craziness. He lives in London.
