Overview
Discover the razor-sharp, wickedly funny non-fiction of Jon Ronson in this five-book collection. From the psychology of madness to the terrifying power of online mobs, from secret military experiments to the strange men lost in ideological rabbit holes, Ronson turns his trademark gonzo curiosity on the darkest, weirdest corners of modern life. A brand new set, perfect for fans of narrative journalism, psychology and dark comedy alike.
About the Books
This collection brings together five of Jon Ronson's most acclaimed works of narrative non-fiction. The Psychopath Test follows Ronson deep into the world of psychopathy, questioning whether society itself might be shaped by madness rather than reason. So You've Been Publicly Shamed examines the modern phenomenon of internet shaming, tracking down the real people whose lives were upended by viral outrage. Them: Adventures with Extremists sees Ronson embed himself among Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klansmen in pursuit of a shadowy global elite. The Men Who Stare At Goats uncovers a bizarre secret US Army unit trained in psychic warfare, later adapted into a major film starring George Clooney. Finally, The Castle, Ronson's most recent book, follows his own son into a mysterious world of men who have retreated into extreme ideologies, blending true-crime pacing with his signature dry wit. Across all five titles, Ronson's style stays unmistakable: deeply reported, disarmingly funny and unafraid of uncomfortable truths.
