Jon Ronson writes books about the same dark corner Jon Ronson writes books about the same dark corners of the world that Louis Theroux explores in his documentaries. This time, his subject is toxic masculinity, anti-wokeness, shouting on social media, male anger, sexual deviancy and just plain weirdos. The Castle: Adventures in a World of Unravelling Men by Jon Ronson takes us deep into a world whose contours we glimpse in the comments section on social media. It’s ugly, shocking, utterly mad - and, at times, very, very funny.
