So You've Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson

5.0

One reason it's so hard to talk sensibly about the current wave of online public shamings is that everyone's trying to take sides all the time; bring up "donglegate" or #CancelColbert and most people immediately line up behind opposing barricades based on grand ideological or moral positions. So it's refreshing to read a book that pretty much sidesteps such issues and instead focuses on the human experience of both shaming and being shamed, online and in public. The result is funny, troubling, compassionate and utterly human.

Highly recommended, especially if you're someone who spends a lot of time on Twitter etc.
