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?

Kritikerröster

"A funny, superbly controlled account of [Ronson’s] wanderings through the wonderland of fanaticism and delusion." (Brian Appleyard, New Statesman)
"This book is chilling and hilarious by turns. Ronson’s trademark laid-back attitude is a delight." ( Independent)
"A funny and compulsively readable picaresque adventure through a paranoid shadow world." (Louis Theroux, Guardian)
"Ronson plays up to his charming buffoonery... But he is an acute social commentator. He is compelling." ( Times Literary Supplement)

Mest relevant
Ron Johnson hat brilliant recherchiert und dabei ein Ungeheuer witziges, charmantes und hochinteressantes Buch geschrieben, das bis jetzt nicht und Brisanz verloren hat... hier vielleicht im Gegenteil.
Gerade seine menschliche annäherungsweise an die Thematik finde ich passend und aufschlussreich.

Immer noch hochaktuell und lesenswert!

Probably the wildest Jon Ronson book. Conspiracy theories and extremism. Questioning what extreme really means. Amazing.

Jon Ronson at his best
