Synopsis
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--now with new material--reveals how deep our collective craziness lies, even in the most mundane circumstances.
Ronson investigates the strange things we're willing to believe in, from robots programmed with our loved ones' personalities to indigo children to the Insane Clown Posse's juggalo fans. He looks at ordinary lives that take on extraordinary perspectives. Among them: a pop singer whose greatest passion is the coming alien invasion, assisted-suicide practitioners, and an Alaskan town's Christmas-induced high school mass-murder plot. He explores all these tales with a sense of higher purpose and universality, yet they are stories not about the fringe of society. They are about all of us. Incisive and hilarious, poignant and maddening, revealing and disturbing--Ronson writes about our modern world, and reveals how deep our collective craziness lies, and the chaos stirring at the edge of our daily lives."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
"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
