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.

Facing her own doppelgänger, leftist activist Naomi Klein explores the absurdity, inversion, and surreality of our cultural and political moment, offering piercing perspectives on self-branding and conspiracy theories, climate change and the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, and more. Sprawling, funny, intellectually invigorating, and disturbing in equal measure—if you get lost following Klein through the mirror world,  you’ll end with your feet on more solid ground.
