I really don't rate non-fiction, but we're making an exception for this one since it's one of the only books I've read that discusses our current political polarization without making me feel entirely defeated. Klein approaches alt right talking points with context, facts and a deep amount of empathy that both holds these pundits accountable while recognizing how they've gotten there. I also appreciate the reference made to other explorations of dopplegangers and double-think, it really brings the book together in such a satisfying way.

An interesting read that's particularly strong in its last few chapters where Naomi Klein illustrates the violent bigotry and genocidal tendencies inherent to Europe and its colonial projects.

The book is well written, covers a lot of ground and offers much food for thought. 

Trying to tie all of these topics back to the doppelganger motif at times feels like a stretch? I definitely lost the thread a few times but was captivated by Klein's meandering narrative nonetheless.

I regret listening to the audiobook because there were so many sections I wanted to annotate the hell out of, so I'm gonna have to reread this once I've got a physical copy.

While this is a very zeitgeisty book, I think it'll age better than others, as it serves almost as a history book mixed with memoir mixed with psychology.
