Remember Justine Sacco? On her way to Africa in December 2013, Justine, a PR guru from NYC, tweeted, "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!" After tweeting, she got on an 11 hour flight only to come off and see that she had been dragged all over the internet AND lost her job. Justine's unfortunate mishap is just one of several stories of people who have been "shamed" by the public all over the internet. Jon Ronson is hilarious, witty, and very entertaining, and writes in a way that is not boring. You need that when you're reading a sociologically/psychologically based book.
