À propos de cet audio
Them began as a book about different kinds of extremists, but after Jon had got to know some of them - Islamic fundamentalists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen - he found that they had one oddly similar belief: that a tiny, shadowy elite rule the world from a secret room. In Them, Jon sets out, with the help of the extremists, to locate that room. The journey is as creepy as it is comic, and along the way Jon is chased by men in dark glasses, unmasked as a Jew in the middle of a Jihad training camp, and witnesses international CEOs and politicians participate in a bizarre pagan ritual in the forests of northern California.
Them is a fascinating and entertaining exploration of extremism, in which Jon learns some alarming things about the looking-glass world of ‘them’ and ‘us’. Are the extremists on to something? Or has Jon become one of Them?

The Psychopath Test is a fascinating journey through the minds of madness. Jon Ronson's exploration of a potential hoax being played on the world's top neurologists takes him, unexpectedly, into the heart of the madness industry. An influential psychologist who is convinced that many important CEOs and politicians are, in fact, psychopaths teaches Ronson how to spot these high-flying individuals by looking out for little telltale verbal and nonverbal clues. And so Ronson, armed with his new psychopath-spotting abilities, enters the corridors of power.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 52
In 1979, a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed, the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. Entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on Terror.

Histoire5 out of 5 stars 5
From taking the knee to transgender rights, wedge issues are everywhere in modern life - dividing opinions, polarising debate and tearing friendships and families apart. Even something as seemingly innocuous as wearing a facemask can provoke vicious disagreement. But how did we get here, and what does it mean for society going forward? In this gripping series, acclaimed writer and journalist Jon Ronson searches for the origin stories of the hostilities - the pebbles thrown in the pond, creating the ripples that led to where we are today.

In the late 1980s Jon Ronson was the keyboard player in the Frank Sidebottom Oh Blimey Big Band. Frank wore a big fake head. Nobody outside his inner circle knew his true identity. This became the subject of feverish speculation during his zenith years. Together, they rode relatively high. Then it all went wrong. Twenty-five years later and Jon has co-written a movie, Frank, inspired by his time in this great and bizarre band. Frank is set for release in 2014, starring Michael Fassbender, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Domhnall Gleeson and directed by Lenny Abrahamson.

A real gem
I loved this book. It was a breath of fresh air in comparison to the stuff I’d been listening to. Jon narrates his work perfectly. Super interesting subject matter and told with a good humoured bent but not demeaning by any means. Brilliant.

One of Ronson's Most Compelling Listens
If you liked 'The Men Who Stare at Goats', or enjoyed 'The Psychopath Test', you must definitely check out Jon Ronson's 'Them'. Ronson is at his gonzo journalistic best in this story, as he goes about, covertly infiltrating and reporting on the paranoid and the extreme. The narrative is extremely fair and non-judgmental, even when Ronson finds himself on 'the other side of the looking glass'. One of my favourite turns of phrase is included herein (and I'm paraphrasing, as I don't have the exact quote in front of me): 'It's a good thing I don't believe in the secret rulers of the world. Just imagine what the secret rulers of the world would do to me if I did.'

Not one of my favorites
I always enjoy Jon's narration but this was not one of my favorite writings from his collection.

I didn't find any of it humorous
This book is a collection of experiences Ronson has with various extremist groups in the late 90's. He does humanize some of them from being the evil in the dark to either people or buffoons. In the end he comes to the conclusion that they all have an underlying belief in a secret world controlling group, maybe lizards.
This is my second Jon Ronson book. Over all I find his narration kind of distracting and his voice grates on me, and that is personal preference. The first book of his I had, Lost at Sea: The Jon Ronson Mysteries, I couldn't finish. I finished this one but it was a slog. I liked Men Who Stare at Goats, the movie. I bought both of these books based on that movie. Both were in my library for too long to return,
Maybe I don't get the humour? He makes some vaguely ironic observations, but nothing in this book made me laugh, or was new information. Maybe since the time frame is the late 90's the material didn't age well. The world is a lot more shouty than it was then, and the extremists more dangerous.
