Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein
i was very interested in hearing klein's POV on the topics she covered (turns out i align with her on some beliefs and differ drastically on others), but this book ended up being very long-winded, self-centred, and, dare i say, biased. the most interesting parts were klein admitting she could do better. also, i can't believe how much she railed on wolf, bannon and their likes. the extreme and continual 'othering', despite klein recognising how unhelpful this is, was kind of jarring.
having finished, i'm surprised this book won the women's prize for non-fiction 2024. whilst it brought up some interesting topics and feels very current, it's likely too close to the events, too obvious, to be much use to anyone. it feels like a book that will be more insightful for future generations.
