Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books Jon Ronson's 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.' The
rise of social media has seen a great renaissance in public
shaming. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are
getting a voice. But what are we doing with that voice? We are
mercilessly finding people's faults, and 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. This edition features a new
chapter and interview with perhaps the most famous public shaming
victim of all - Monica Lewinsky. Part of the Picador Collection, a
series showcasing the best of modern literature.
