"New York Times"-bestselling author of "The Psychopath Test" Jon
Ronson writes about the dark, uncanny sides of humanity with
clarity and humor. "Lost at Sea"--now with new material--reveals
how deep our collective craziness lies, even in the most mundane
circumstances.
Ronson investigates the strange things we're willing to believe
in, from robots programmed with our loved ones' personalities to
indigo children to the Insane Clown Posse's juggalo fans. He looks
at ordinary lives that take on extraordinary perspectives. Among
them: a pop singer whose greatest passion is the coming alien
invasion, assisted-suicide practitioners, and an Alaskan town's
Christmas-induced high school mass-murder plot. He explores all
these tales with a sense of higher purpose and universality, yet
they are stories not about the fringe of society. They are about
all of us. Incisive and hilarious, poignant and maddening,
revealing and disturbing--Ronson writes about our modern world, and
reveals how deep our collective craziness lies, and the chaos
stirring at the edge of our daily lives.
