Acclaimed journalist Jon Ronson dives into the dark underbelly of public shaming, meeting the shamers, the shamed, and those caught in the crossfire. From careers destroyed by a single mistake to collective outrage that flares up and dies down in the blink of an eye, Ronson reveals the human cost of this new age of instant, relentless judgment. This is a powerful, humane dispatch from the frontlines of the war on human nature.
