To his horror, he discovered that Brooke Magnanti - controversial author of the\u003ci\u003e Belle de Jour \u003c\/i\u003ebooks - had published an article accusing him of physically and sexually assaulting another woman a few years earlier. Tyaransen had never met Magnanti, and the woman in question had recently died in tragic circumstances. While the allegation was completely untrue, it was already going viral. Hundreds of people were rushing to judgement and sharing Magnanti's article. In a painfully honest and compelling memoir, Tyaransen details the emotional, social and professional impact of that false accusation. His lacerating, unflinching account highlights the importance of due process, the mindless cruelty of crowds and the potentially fatal consequences of online vigilantism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOlaf Tyaransen\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet, author, filmmaker and award-winning journalist.
