An interesting exploration of shame and various iterations of it, with the impetus being online shaming. I was engaged throughout the book and assumed the author would reach a more impactful - or even half-formed - conclusion. He did not. Left it hanging out there for someone else to pick up.
This was a very interesting book, that was well written and thought provoking. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good non fiction book to read,

I am well aware that it was written by a journalist and if you're a fan of that style of writing then it is a good book for you for someone that prefers a more factual, textbook layout in my non-fiction this just came across as bunch of thoughts and arguments half thought out and only semi researched. The topics of the thoughts were entertaining enough but just lacking any substance which is an excellent way to make people further research them on their own - which I sense to be the intention - but if you have already got anything past the bare minimum of the topics it's redundant.… (meer)
