“And this is the catch-22 of confronting your doppelganger: bark all you want, but you inevitably end up confronting yourself.”
Doppelganger by Naomi Klein is a sharp, compelling exploration of identity, disinformation, and the strange convergence between political and social extremes. While I usually find myself outside of the left-right political spectrum, I can certainly relate to Klein more than, say, Steve Bannon. I enjoyed the book and found it fascinating to get a glimpse into what ‘the other side' is up to.
Klein covers a lot of ground, offering plenty of insight, but at times the book feels weighed down by the sheer volume of topics and details. It's covid-19; it's Israel and Palestine; it's autism; it's the climate crisis; it's personal branding... I understand why she includes those ideas, but eventually the book gets sidetracked in relaying its message.
🎧 I read Doppelganger on audio, and Klein is an excellent narrator of her book. I always love when authors support their own works in that space.
Engaging and thought-provoking, Doppelganger is a solid read and one I would recommend. Unfortunately, the individuals who need to read it are not the ones who will be picking it up.
