Jon Ronson writes humorous investigative non-fiction about extremism, public shaming, conspiracy and people occupying unusual corners of modern culture. Them follows meetings with conspiracy theorists, extremists and activists who believe hidden groups control world events. The Psychopath Test examines the history and use of psychopathy diagnosis through psychiatrists, patients and institutional settings, while So You've Been Publicly Shamed looks at people whose lives changed after online outrage. Ronson's style is conversational, self-questioning and anecdotal, with his own uncertainty often left visible rather than hidden behind an authoritative narrator. His work fits investigative journalism, social psychology-adjacent non-fiction and contemporary culture writing. The Psychopath Test is the clearest route into his mix of reporting, scepticism and first-person curiosity. Read more Less
