Facing her own doppelgänger, leftist activist Naomi Klein explores the absurdity, inversion, and surreality of our cultural and political moment, offering piercing perspectives on self-branding and conspiracy theories, climate change and the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, and more. Sprawling, funny, intellectually invigorating, and disturbing in equal measure—if you get lost following Klein through the mirror world, you’ll end with your feet on more solid ground.

Absolutely a must read! This is my first book from Klein and I immediately feel compelled to reach for her backlist. For a fairly short-ish book, this covers so much ground while also going pretty deeply into each topic, I felt it was quite comprehensive. My only complaint was that I sometimes struggled with the organization of the book, I never quite knew where it was going, though each time we got somewhere I enjoyed myself. This is a great book for understanding where we are right now and imagining where we could be, I want to throw this book at everyone I meet!
