Listened to the entire audiobook on a 9 hour car trip. I loved the narration and the subject matter really made me question my own motives and wants when I've participated in public shamings on Twitter and Facebook. This book is getting 5 stars because I think it has actually made me change my viewpoint on certain aspects of social media, and due to this my behavior will most likely change. Anytime a book changes me as a person and causes a change in my behavior, then I believe it deserves 5 stars.
I hope the author writes a book on more modern public shaming and especially cancel culture. This book is set from 2008 to 2015, and public shamings have gotten more frequent and brutal, especially when it comes to canceling people.
I'm definitely interested in whatever else this man writes.

Its a book on public shaming, so the author does include some vivid comments from Twitter users made towards victims of public shamings. A lot of rape threats, death threats, use of degrading words (calling women c*nts for instance).
