The Best Non Fiction Books with Jess Hill
Jess Hill is an investigative journalist and the author of See What You Made Me Do, which recently won the coveted Stella Prize. Jess’s work has also won two Walkley awards, three Our Watch awards, and an Amnesty International award. She even helped set Twitter on fire last year with her revelation that Stockholm Syndrome is actually a bunch of bullshit.
Jess’s book See What You Made Me Do is for sure the most mindblowing non-fiction book I’ve read this year, up there with my favourites of all time like Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari.
I was lucky enough to have a remarkable chat with this remarkable woman, where we spoke about the role of non-fiction for society, the best non-fiction books getting around, and what it meant for Jess to win The Stella Prize.
Listen to the interview below, and check out all her recommendations.
