About this book

Journalist Jon Ronson follows a series of peculiar encounters into the world of people who diagnose, study, or are labeled psychopaths. His investigation takes him from psychiatric institutions to corporate power, introducing experts, unsettling interview subjects, and people whose stories resist neat categories. Ronson's own enthusiasm for finding patterns becomes part of the story, as he asks what happens when a label starts explaining everything. This is narrative journalism rather than a diagnostic handbook: curious, uneasy, and frequently very funny. The central mystery concerns not only dangerous behavior, but also who gets to define normality.
