Summary:
"From the award-winning, bestselling author of 'No Logo,' 'The Shock Doctrine,' and 'This Changes Everything,' a revelatory analysis of the collapsed meanings, blurred identities, and uncertain realities of the mirror world."
"In this striking meditation on contemporary political ideology, journalist Klein (This Changes Everything) explores unsettling resonances between her progressive beliefs and those of feminist turned right-wing conspiracy theorist Naomi Wolf. Klein recounts her annoyance over the tendency for commentators to confuse her with Wolf (who like her is a Jewish woman known for writing “big-idea books”), and her alarm as her “doppelgänger” veered rightward during the Covid-19 pandemic, embracing antivaxxer and Stop the Steal conspiracy theories and becoming a frequent guest on Steve Bannon’s podcast. On this bleakly comic happenstance Klein hangs an analysis of right-wing populism, particularly the antivaxxer movement, as a warped mirror image of her own anticapitalist convictions. She goes on to find doppelgängers at the heart of other political ideologies, arguing, for example, that Nazism was the doppelgänger of a genocidal Western colonialism, and that Israeli Zionism views Palestinians as malignant doppelgängers much as antisemites view Jews. Klein’s writing is perceptive and intriguingly personal, but the doppelgänger theme begins to feel slightly overextended, with too many variations muddling the metaphor. However, by articulating such an expansive view of the uncanny, Klein’s mesmerizing narrative reflects the unique anxieties and modes of analysis that have come to dominate the online era. Like Klein’s previous books, it’s a definitive signpost of the times."--Publishers Weekly.
"Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist and documentary film-maker, and a New York Times bestselling author of books including 'No Logo,' 'The Shock Doctrine,' and 'This Changes Everything,' ' No, Is Not Enough, and 'On Fire' which have been translated into more than 35 languages. She is an associate professor in the department of geography at the University of British Columbia, the founding codirector of UBC's Centre for Climate Justice, and an honorary professor of Media and Climate at Rutgers University. She is recipient of numerous honorary degrees and doctorates, was awarded the Sydney Peace Prize in 2016, and was nominated for an Emmy. The Guardian picked 'No Logo' as one of its top 100 nonfiction books of all time, and Time chose 'No Logo' as one of its top 100 nonfiction books published since 1923. She speaks and lectures widely, writes a syndicated column for The Guardian, and appears in leading publications around the world. 'Doppelganger' is her ninth book."--p.401 (back cover verso)
