JON RONSON IS GOING TO DIE
Jon Ronson is a British-American journalist, author, and filmmaker, known for works such as Them: Adventures with Extremists, The Men Who Stare at Goats, and The Psychopath Test. He's also possessed of an insatiable curiosity and devilish intellect - so what plans has this provocateur made for his own Funeral, and how much thought has he given to who will deliver his eulogy?
Jon’s two TED talks have been watched more than 30 million times. In the US he is a contributor to This American Life, the New York Times magazine and GQ magazine, and has appeared many times as a guest on shows like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The New Yorker Radio Hour.
In the UK Jon has written regularly for The Guardian, as a columnist and feature writer.
