"So you've been publicly shamed a journey through the world of public humiliation"
by Ronson, Jon,
It is a book about shame, and how an offensive joke/picture sent out on twitter or other social media can ruin someone's life. It also discusses a bit about our past shamings (stockades, public whippings, etc.). What happens to people after this, etc.
Interesting book.
Oh, I read that last year! Really interesting book. Jon Ronson has some great TED talks as well, and he also did a fascinating podcast called "The Butterfly Effect" that looked at all the myriad ramifications of the proliferation of free
**** on the internet.
