Description:

The Psychopath Test: What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness. Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness, and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting.

So You've Been Publicly Shamed: For the past three years, Jon Ronson has travelled the world meeting recipients of high-profile public shamings. The shamed are people like us - individuals who, say, made a joke on social media that went wrong 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.

Them Adventures with Extremists: In Them, Jon sets out, with the help of the extremists, to locate that room. The journey is as creepy as it is comic, and along the way, Jon is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and witnesses international CEOs and politicians participate in a bizarre pagan ritual in the forests of northern California.

The Men Who Stare At Goats: In 1979, a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known military practice - and indeed the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt a cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls, and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them.
