"Authors@GoogleNY is pleased to welcome Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test as well as Them: Adventures with Extremists and The Men Who Stare at Goats. He will discuss his latest collection of essays entitled Lost at Sea. These pieces center on the idea of everyday people who find that ordinariness is not quite enough and look to the absurd to find whatever it is they think they're missing -- aliens, robots, game shows, hardcore Christian rap music, psychics...anything slightly out of the realm of the normal that might make a regular guy feel a little more alive."
