What if you woke up one morning to discover you had a double—someone almost like you, yet fundamentally different? This doppelganger shares your concerns but promotes the very causes you oppose. Naomi Klein, a celebrated activist and public intellectual, faced this unsettling reality when she encountered a figure whose views she found abhorrent, yet whose name and persona led to confusion. This experience left her disoriented until she recognized it as part of a broader strangeness in our world: AI-generated text blurring communication, New Age wellness advocates becoming anti-vaxxers, and liberal democracies leaning toward absurdist authoritarianism amid rising oceans. Klein, a sharp social critic, turns her focus inward to explore our psychological landscapes while addressing the intersecting crises we face. With insights from Freud, Jordan Peele, and bell hooks, she employs humor and a keen sense of the absurd to confront the doubles that haunt us. Blending comic memoir with chilling reportage and insightful analysis, she seeks to shatter the mirror of our digital selves and explore whether we can overcome the pathologies of our culture. Can we foster a politics of collective care and reckon with historical injustices? The result is a profound exploration of contemporary thought and an intellectual adventure for our times.
