Review:
Praise for The "Psychopath Test"

"A rollicking, page-turner of a book . . . no ordinary piece of investigative journalism . . . Ronson's storytelling skills are strong enough to enliven even the necessary reflections that would be one yawn after another if entrusted to a lesser writer."--"San Francisco Chronicle

""Engagingly irreverent."--"The New York Times"

"Because of Ronson's relentless self-deprecation and goofy, British humor, it's easy to tag along without fully realizing the rigor of his reporting, which is itself frenzied with compulsive questioning and obsessive research."--"The Boston Globe"

"[A] fascinating and humane book."--"The Washington Post Book World"

"Both terrifying and hilarious."--"O: The Oprah Magazine"

"Profoundly weird...wonderfully twisted...extremely satisfying."--"Boston Globe"
"Initially, it seems that oddities are what...Jon Ronson is after. He's actually really just trying to understand the irrational hopes and desires that drive us all.""--The Daily Beast"
"Eclectic and fascinating...Ronson treats his subjects fairly but skeptically...his view always framed by an appropriately cocked eyebrow."--""Entertainment Weekly""
"Absurdly entertaining."--""Publishers Weekly"" (starred review)

"A sterling collection of amazing stories from an offbeat journalist at the top of his game."--""Kirkus Reviews""

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. The New York Times-bestselling author of The Psychopath Test, Jon Ronson writes about the dark, uncanny sides of humanity with clarity and humor. Lost at Sea reveals how deep our collective craziness lies, even in the most mundane circumstances.Ronson investigates the strange things were willing to believe in, from lifelike robots programmed with our loved ones personalities to indigo children to hypersuccessful spiritual healers to the Insane Clown Posses juggalo fans. He looks at ordinary lives that take on extraordinary perspectives, for instance a pop singer whose lifes greatest passion is the coming alien invasion, and the scientist designated to greet those aliens when they arrive. Ronson throws himself into the stories-in a tour de force piece, he splits himself into multiple Ronsons (Happy, Paul, and Titch, among others) to get to the bottom of credit card companies predatory tactics and the murky, fabulously wealthy companies behind those tactics. Amateur nuclear physicists, assisted-suicide practitioners, the town of North Pole, Alaskas Christmas-induced high school mass-murder plot: Ronson explores all these tales with a sense of higher purpose and universality, and suddenly, mid-read, they are stories not about the fringe of society or about people far removed from our own experience, but about all of us.Incisive and hilarious, poignant and maddening, revealing and disturbing-Ronson writes about our modern world, the foibles of contemporary culture, and the chaos that lies at the edge of our daily lives.
