About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Outraged by Ashley 'Dotty' Charles, read by Ashley "Dotty" Charles.

'The powerful new voice of her generation'
The Times

'Funny, nuanced and wonderful'
Jon Ronson

‘A book that had me hollering, nodding and questioning at the same time'
Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie

'Funny, educational, enlightening . . . Way ahead of its time'
Chris Evans

A candid exploration of the state of outrage in our culture, and how we can channel it back into the fights that matter, from presenter and DJ Ashley 'Dotty' Charles.

Ours is a society where many exploit the outrage of others in order to gain power – and we all too quickly take the bait. But by shouting about everything, we are in fact creating a world where outrage is without consequence.

There is still much to be outraged by in our final frontier, but in order to enact change and become more effective online, we must learn to channel our responses.

This is the essential guide to living through the age of outrage.

Love the radio show and the podcast so have been looking forward to the book for a while. It didn’t disappoint. Well done Dotty, a great listen.

Great book

What a brilliant book. So topical, so insightful and thought provoking whilst being witty and relevant.

Absolutely spot on!

Really good research on such a broad topic. Loved that it was told in Dotty's own voice, as a huge fan of her radio shows, it was great to hear her talk about what she'd found, but to hear the sarcasm directly.
The book has made me think twice about how I react to things that spike up in the media and think more about what I could do about real issues rather than just retweet and get angry about, for a little while.

Insightful and eye opening

Through the stories of recent public outrage stories (Rachel Dolezal and Jamie's Jerk Rice) and outrage-mongers ( Katie Hopkins and Piers Morgan ), this book discusses the effectiveness of public outrage and its basis in performative activism.

An interesting take on a current topic

I listened to the entire audio book in one sitting. It was insightful, funny, made me think, and a breath of fresh air.

Definite must listen for our modern age
