Jon Ronson is a distinguished British-American journalist, author, and filmmaker known for his unique style often associated with gonzo journalism. Born on May 10, 1967, in Cardiff, his intriguing body of work includes notable titles such as Them: Adventures with Extremists (2001), The Men Who Stare at Goats (2004), and The Psychopath Test (2011). The latter book was so compelling that it paved the way for a major motion picture starring George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Bridges.
Ronson's fascination with the unconventional often leads him to craft informal yet critical investigations into controversial fringe politics and science. Over the years, he has contributed to important publications such as The Guardian, and his work has been showcased on prominent platforms like BBC Television and Channel 4. Beyond print, Ronson has made a significant impact through his radio series, Jon Ronson On..., and his documentary films, including Secret Rulers of the World and Reverend Death.
His acute observations are not limited to books and television, as he also expresses his thoughts through columns such as "Human Zoo" and "Out of the Ordinary". Ronson's reach extends across the Atlantic, where he continues to engage audiences with his thought-provoking work.
