'It's about the terror, isn't it?'
'The terror of what?' I said.
'The terror of being found out.'
Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - people who, say, made a joke on social media that came out badly, or made a mistake at work. Once their transgression is revealed, collective outrage circles with the force of a hurricane and the next thing they know they're being torn apart by an angry mob, jeered at, demonized, sometimes even fired from their job.
A great renaissance of public shaming is sweeping our land. Justice has been democratized. The silent majority are getting a voice. But what are we doing with our voice? We are mercilessly finding people's faults. We are 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.

It was alright. There were some really interesting informations and observations, but it didn’t have any Structure. The authors behind to tell a story about a person who was publicly shamed, in that he is talking to 3 other people, not related to the first one, then we get an information piece about like hitler or Stasi oder Zimbardo and the Stanford prison experiment (which these information pieces were the best part for me) but everything was just scattered around, no timeline , nothing. So it was kids of difficult to concentrate on this and not loose track of what we are talking about at this moment. Still it wasn’t a complete disaster so it gets 2 stars from me, maybe more like 2,5
