About Jon Ronson
Ronson is a author and documentary filmmaker who dips into each season of madness, extremism and obsession. In his latest book, The Psychopath Test, he explores a unnerving universe of psychopaths — a organisation that includes both jailed killers and, one of his subjects insists, copiousness of CEOs. In his books, films and articles, Ronson explores stupidity and mania of all kinds, from a U.S. military’s experiments in penetrating crusade to a pornographic and hate-filled nonetheless Christian swat of a Insane Clown Posse. He wrote a mainstay for The Guardian and hosted an letter module on Radio 4, and contributes to This American Life.
