Doppelganger

About This Book

*WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION* *THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE TIMES, NEW YORK TIMES, GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, AND PROSPECT* ‘If I had to name a single book that makes sense of these last few dark years, it would be this one’ - New York Times ‘A deeply compelling read ... urgent and necessary’ - Evening Standard Naomi Klein, author of era-defining bestsellers, is back with her most compulsive and personal book yet: a revelatory journey into the mirror world of our polarised age. When Naomi Klein discovered that a woman who shared her first name, but had radically different, harmful views, was getting chronically mistaken for her, she started grappling with a distorted sense of reality and a deep fascination with the threats and discussions about her online doppelganger. This exploration leads Klein into a bizarre mirror world filled with conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxers, and extremist figures, revealing the unnerving truths about identity and the current social landscape.
