Outraged: Why Everyone Is Shouting and No One Is Talking by Ashley 'Dotty' Charles
4.0
"We don't need to care less; we just need to care better."
There's nothing particularly groundbreaking in this study, and at around 140 pages it was never going to dive all that deeply into this most current of phenomena, but it is nonetheless a great look behind the scenes of online outrage, how and why it happens, how it can be used in a considered and worthwhile way, and how in general we can lead healthier and saner online lives.
The writing style is informal and engaging, with just the right balance of humour that will genuinely make you laugh out loud, and serious discussion points. Most people seem to be saying it (jokingly?) in reviews (mostly in social media posts!), but anyone with a social media account really should read this before wading into their next pile-on!
