Interesting and reflective read on the self, personal and group identity, capitalism and conspiracy - I especially enjoyed the parts on autism, qanon, antisemitism and Palestine. Would recommend for anyone trying to process and understand our current moment, lots to chew on and discuss!

4.5

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!
