    Jon Ronson's So You've Been Publicly Shamed was done last week. I really dig Ronson as a writer and believe he has an awful lot to offer the world but I'm not sure Shamed really comes to any conclusions, and I feel like it's trying to. I enjoyed it greatly but I wanted more out of it. I guess it's just hard to say anything definitive or actionable when one is talking about the Internet.

I just listened to Marc Maron's interview with Ronson from last week, and was thinking of checking this one out. From the interview and his wikipedia article, he sounds like a really upstanding and thoughtful guy. I'm bummed but not surprised to hear that he doesn't come up with actionable advice for the issue.
