Them: Adventures with Extremists

By Jon Ronson

Categories: Politics & Social Sciences

Journalist Jon Ronson spends time with extremists of many kinds, including Islamist radicals, Ku Klux Klan leaders and conspiracy theorists, who share a belief that a small secret elite rules the world. His deadpan, often comic reporting asks how much truth lies behind their fears and finds himself chased by men in dark glasses along the way.

• Edgar Wright: “'Them: Adventures With Extremists' by @jonronson is 20 this year. I'm not sure there's been a non-fiction book that was more of an ominous bellwether of what was to come... Required reading then, and shockingly ahead of its time, now.”
