Klein, the acclaimed author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine and columnist for The Guardian, writes about her personal experience of a case of mistaken identity, in which she is mistaken for a well-known public intellectual with a similar name but with political views antithetical to her own. In recounting the story, Klein references the work of Freud, bell hooks and others as well as her own body of work.

From the Publisher
An award-winning journalist, bestselling author, public intellectual and activist, Naomi Klein writes books that orient us in our time. She has offered essential accounts of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Now, as liberal democracies teeter on the edge, Klein takes aim at absurdist authoritarianism, using a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the doubles that haunt us. Part tragicomic memoir, part chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Doppelganger invites readers on a wild ride, smashing through the mirror world, charting a path beyond despair towards true solidarity.
