I asked video wizard Colby Richardson to make a book trailer for Doppelganger. He went and made a beautiful and trippy work of art. I’m so grateful. Welcome to The Mirror World…

Doppelganger
NOW IN PAPERBACK!
Also available, a free standalone excerpt from Doppelganger that includes Chapter 13: The Nazi in the Mirror and Chapter 14: The Unshakable Ethnic Double plus an introduction and endnotes – free to read and share here.
On its release in September 2023, Doppelganger hit multiple bestseller lists in the US, including the New York Times and the Independent Booksellers Association national and regional lists, and it was a #1 bestseller in Canada for several weeks.
Doppelganger was the inaugural winner of the Women’s Prize for Non-Fiction and was shortlisted for several other awards. It was selected for best-of-the year lists including The New York Times Notable Books of 2023, Time Magazine Top Ten Non-Fiction Books of the Year, a Guardian Best Idea Book of 2023, The Times (UK) Books of the Year, an Audible Books Best of the Year for non-fiction audiobooks, Slate’s 10 Best Books of 2023, Amazon’s Top 20 Nonfiction Books of 2023, The New York Times list of Best Audiobooks of 2023, Goodreads Choice Awards nominee for Best Nonfiction of the Year, where it came #6 out of 15 nominees, and more. New York Magazine’s Vulture named Doppelganger #1 Book of the Year:
“No recent book has better captured the absurdities and perils of the current moment in politics and culture and digital life than Doppelganger…. Other Naomi’s descent into right-wing madness is just a jumping-off point for Klein to explore a shadow world that exists concurrent to our own, where facts are malleable and disinformation is abundant, where conspiracy theories distort and exploit our very legitimate fears, and where fascism can arise as democracy’s evil twin.”
“This book is a must-read even before Klein gets to unforgettable observations about ethnic doppelgängers and her experience as a Jewish woman who once reported from Gaza. With humor and empathy and a sharp eye that can deconstruct systemic injustices with the same ease as Twitter drama, Klein uses copious film and literary references as she skewers everything from the wellness industry to AI.”

How Israel has made trauma a weapon of war
October 5, 2024
By Naomi Klein
A year later, memorials to the 7 October attacks use art, virtual reality and dark tourism to stir support for limitless violence. But there is a different way to remember.
A slick, high-priced television production. Speeches from top officials. A live audience of thousands. A unified show of collective sorrow and military resolve.
That is how the Israeli government hoped to mark the passing of one year since Hamas’s surprise and bloody attacks last 7 October. But little has gone according to plan.
We Need An Exodus From Zionism
April 24, 2024
By Naomi Klein
Reprinted from a speech at the Emergency Seder in the Streets in Brooklyn on April 23, 2024.
I’ve been thinking about Moses, and his rage when he came down from the mount to find the Israelites worshipping a golden calf. The ecofeminist in me was always uneasy about this story: what kind of God is jealous of animals? What kind of God wants to hoard all the sacredness of the Earth for himself? But there is a less literal way of understanding this story. It is about false idols. About the human tendency to worship the profane and shiny, to look to the small and material rather than the large and transcendent. What I want to say to you tonight at this revolutionary and historic Seder in the Streets is that too many of our people are worshipping a false idol once again. They are enraptured by it. Drunk on it. Profaned by it.
That false idol is called Zionism.
