If Democrats want to keep the blue wave going into 2028, they have to take on the billionaire class.
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of ten critically acclaimed books published in over 35 languages. The University of British Columbia Professor of Climate Justice. My new book, End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World, co-written with Astra Taylor, was published on September 15, 2026 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in the United States, by Allen Lane in the United Kingdom, and by Knopf Canada. It was an instant bestseller in all three countries, debuting at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, #1 on the National US Independent Booksellers bestseller list, #1 Canadian Non-Fiction bestseller list and #6 on the Sunday Times UK list. The far right is on the march again – but this time it’s different from anything we’ve seen before. A new, apocalyptic alliance of religious fundamentalists, billionaire Silicon Valley tech kings and ethno-nationalists is on the move. They’re united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, and they welcome a future of shocks, scarcity and collapse, convinced they’ll be among the saved on the other side. This is the world of End Times Fascism. Around the globe, we’re investigating how those who are making our world unliveable through climate chaos and job-consuming AI are preparing to protect themselves from the fallout. We go deep into this man-made Armageddon complex – and show how to resist it. This book, though harrowing in parts, is ultimately hopeful: our research confirms that whether we are fighting polluting data centres or opposing forever wars, most of us desperately want a future we can believe in, and leaders who believe in us. The more End Times Fascism is exposed to the light, the weaker its hold will become. Photo: Kamil Bialous We decided to make a companion short film for a visual unpacking of our book’s argument. In truth, we knew some would be skeptical that such a large portion of our elites could be gripped by the apocalyptic mania we describe in our book. So we figured it was best for people to hear directly from the players themselves, in their own fiery words. With that in mind, we collaborated with filmmakers Emma Dessau, Austin Bedell, and P. Nick Curran to create a video that lays out both the threat and the stakes of what we call “the fight for the living world.” Now available, Israel, Palestine, and the Doppelganger Effect, a 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.
