The stories are told so well, with great reflections by those involved and by the author.
I knocked off .25 stars as the ending felt a bit of a let down and I wished it was longer.
A very strong recommended book from me.

I think this is fascinating as an examination of public twitter shamings in the early 2010s, a very-much pre #metoo era of social media and discourse. The people in here had their lives ruined by a minor or moderate mistake that was unfortunately captured online and amplified by a crowd of strangers who faced no consequences.
I especially appreciated the parts about the absolute ineffectiveness of prisons. Shame is a counterproductive emotion in most scenarios.
Personally, I think that #metoo is public shaming at its most effective — and that is because it is focused on empowering victims, not just randos.
I know he recently wrote an updated afterword, but that wasn’t in my edition :(
