Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein

dark emotional informative medium-paced

4.25

This is above all a very well written book. Klein's ability to tie together seemingly disparate ideas and themes is masterful.  She reminds us of our shared humanity and the risks we're taking by not prioritising wealth inequalities and environmental degradation. She pushes past attempts to minimise or write off the mirror world and looks at what it says about us. I wish she had said more in her chapter on Palestine, and a few other areas in the book where I felt like she was trying to say things without saying them outright. I'm grateful for this book, while immensely saddened by it. I hope to have the opportunity to read it again.
