I liked this in the beginning, and then I loved this by the end. Especially the finally 10% that so articulately addresses Israel and sums up so much of the anxiety of living in a climate changed capitalist world.

Doppelganger by Naomi Klein--I have a special interest in the idea of online doppelgangers. In one of the spaces I occasionally take part in online, there exists an individual who shares my first and last name. So I've experienced what Klein has, on a smaller scale, as she's often mistaken for Naomi Wolf. However, the scope of her project here is significantly broader than I thought. Rather than limiting her work to a discussion of identity, particularly as it's formed and molded (and taken over) online, she dives deep into the conspiracy theories and potent political activism which her doppelganger now engages in, as well as offering media analysis of lookalikes in fiction. It's a well-rounded book even if it's not what I was going for. Thumbs up.

I inhaled this book. It holds so much of the nuance and tension of this present moment beautifully in the metaphor of the doppelganger. It's full of profound social commentary, but also hope and an honest look at the author herself. Excellent writing, thoughtful presentation of ideas. Highly recommend.
