    “a must read for anyone on the internet (everyone). it really pulls apart why mass shaming is ineffective and how our perception of shame, crime, and punishment has been broken through our digital activity. to be clear: this is not about the harvey weinsteins of the world and how they've been wrong cancelled”

    “I could have picked almost any Ronson book. He’s a wonderful writer. But this one has stuck with me the longest as someone with a robust shame complex.”
