London : Picador, 2011. 291 pages ; 22 cm. The missing part of the puzzle revealed — The man who faked madness — Psychopaths dream in black-and-white — The psychopath test — Toto — Night of the living dead — The right sort of madness — The madness of David Shayler — Aiming a bit high — The avoidable death of Rebecca Riley — Good luck. What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness. Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything... Combining Jon Ronson's trademark humour, charm and investigative incision, The Psychopath Test is both entertaining and honest, unearthing dangerous truths and asking serious questions about how we define normality in a world where we are increasingly judged by our maddest edges.
