Jon Ronson’s journalism has introduced readers to some of the world’s most fascinating and extreme personalities, as seen through his relentlessly inquisitive and empathetic eyes. A remarkably prescient writer, Ronson has often been the first to cover topics that later become hot-button societal issues: Them looked at the relationship between extremism and conspiracy theories; The Psychopath Test popularized the idea that the world is run by psychopaths; and So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed was the first book to explore “cancel culture.” His irrepressible humor and curiosity have been spotlit in his regular contributions to This American Life and his chart-topping TED talks.
