“Suddenly, madness was everywhere, and I was determined to learn about the impact it had on the way society evolves. I've always believed society to be a fundamentally rational thing, but what if it isn't? What if it is built on insanity?”

The book was engaging, I enjoyed reading it, however I couldn't help being a little disappointed. While Ronson makes a few good points and raises some good questions, I was hoping the book would go deeper into the world of psychopaths, instead it was mainly focused on his journey of researching the topic. However, I can't hold this too hard against the book as Jon Ronson is an investigative journalist, not a mental health care specialist.
