Shame Nation: The Global Epidemic of Online Hate by Melissa Schorr, Sue Scheff
3.0
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" I decided to request an ARC for this book.
"Shame Nation: The Global Epidemic of Online Hate brings to the forefront this culture of internet trolls, ridiculing and the general hate that is displayed by people online. The book also does a deep dive into Social Media etiquette, highlighting ways to keep a great presence online along with how to deal with trolls.
While I liked the examples in each chapters, particularly cases I was familiar with- The Plane Breakup, The Lady who tweeted about AIDS, the Miss America Teen etc... We got a behind the scene look at how their lives turned out after the whole "shame" incident. Having read "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" they covered majority if these cases, most time the book felt like a re-read.
The book got a little repetitive in some parts, but overall a solid book to read, especially in this digital age.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!
