Pros

Jon ronson's new book is a look at the ways in which shame is treated. Loved the larger font and scattered photos of the subjects. Rronson has a humorous nature and it translates into his writing.

The book follows people who have been shamed, with some deserving some comeuppance. It's the first nonfiction book i’ve read that comes across as a novel. This book is an eye opener and shows me that i should think before i shame.

Twitter author says we need to be more mindful of how we interact with others. She says we never know who's watching, how it'll be interpreted and how it could have lasting ramifications for our lives.

Highly recommend this. An entertaining read. If you're involved in cancel culture or you see it happening around you then it is a must read.

Cons

The book is mostly twitter-centric stories told in an uninteresting voice, spun for consumption by a millenial/gen-z crowd that is quick on the trigger.

It appears that jonah lehrer was lazy. Much of this science is difficult to reproduce, at best, or impossible to reproduce. At this point the book starts to lose coherence.

Quality

As i was reading it i frequently found myself fascinated with the stories and facts presented.

I really enjoyed the book and the interviews with the people whose lives had been altered but something they said online.

Sums up what’s wrong with the shame culture of our time.

Competitiveness

A plea for empathy and grace in a judgmental world.
