It s about the terror, isn t it?The terror of what?  I said. The terror of being found out. For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of highprofile 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 eyeopening truths about the escalating war on human flaws  and the very scary part we all play in it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47333355684085,"sku":"SONG1594487138","price":9.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/8111cusyb2L.jpg?v=1763917147","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/so-you-ve-been-publicly-shamed","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
