So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed book by Jon Ronson (Farsi)

Description

So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson is a powerful and unsettling exploration of public humiliation in the digital age. When Ronson realizes that social media has revived the ancient practice of public shaming, he begins investigating its modern consequences. Through interviews with ordinary people whose lives were destroyed after a single mistake online, he exposes how collective outrage can spiral into cruelty and ruin. The book asks whether such punishments are truly deserved—or whether society uses shame as a dangerous tool of control. Blending humor, honesty, and empathy, Ronson offers a deeply human look at guilt, justice, and the fear of making mistakes in a hyperconnected world.
