Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein

Harry: “Doppelganger by Naomi Klein is a book of doubles: of looking into the ‘Mirror World’ at Klein’s own double, the dangerous conspiracist Naomi Wolf, and of looking into capitalism’s own necessary evil double, the conspiracy theory itself. Klein’s prose here is sharp and precise and the book propels you along as if reading a thriller. It is part memoir and part academic inquiry, yet wholly compulsive. Klein shows how the conspiracy theory, in all its wide ranging and fascist implications, continue to obscure class struggle and larger systemic analysis, hence supporting the billionaires and leaving us in a climate of confusion, lethargy, worsening climate change, and neoliberalism – aka weak politics. Honestly, I expected a fairly average socio-political exploration with a few interesting anecdotes, but instead what I got was one of the best reads of the year. Truly, a book I could not put down!” – Bookseller Review
