Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World

Brought to you by Penguin. What if you woke up one morning and found you'd acquired a double? Someone almost like you, and yet not you at all? When Naomi Klein discovered that a woman who shared her first name, but had radically different, harmful views, was getting chronically mistaken for her, it seemed too ridiculous to take seriously. Then suddenly it wasn't. She started to find herself grappling with a distorted sense of reality, becoming obsessed with reading the threats on social media, the endlessly scrolling insults from the followers of her doppelganger. Why had her shadowy other gone down such an extreme path? Why was identity - all we have to meet the world - so unstable? To find out, Klein decided to follow her double into a bizarre, uncanny mirror world: one of conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxers and demagogue hucksters, where soft-focus wellness influencers make common cause with fire-breathing far right propagandists (all in the name of protecting 'the children'). In doing so, she lifts the lid on our own culture during this surreal moment in history, as we turn ourselves into polished virtual brands, publicly shame our enemies, watch as deep fakes proliferate and whole nations flip from democracy to something far more sinister. This is a book for our age and for all of us; a deadly serious dark comedy which invites us to view our reflections in the looking glass. It's for anyone who has lost hours down an internet rabbit hole, who wonders why our politics has become so fatally warped, and who wants a way out of our collective vertigo and back to fighting for what really matters. ©2023 Naomi Klein (P)2023 Penguin Audio

On Fire: The Burning Case for a Green New Deal

Brought to you by Penguin. On Fire by Naomi Klein is read by Rebecca Lowman with an introduction read by the author. For more than twenty years, Naomi Klein has been the foremost chronicler of the economic war waged on both people and planet - and the champion of a sweeping environmental agenda with justice at its centre. Her books have defined our era. On Fire gathers for the first time more than a decade of her impassioned writing from the frontline of climate change, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose to do next. These essays, reports and lectures show Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of 'perpetual now,' to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of 'climate barbarism,' this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink.

[German] - Naomi Klein fordert eine Entscheidung - lit.COLOGNE live (ungekürzt)

Mit ihrem Manifest 'No logo' wurde die weltberühmte Aktivistin Naomi Klein international bekannt, das Buch wurde in 28 Sprachen übersetzt, die New York Times nannte es die 'Bibel der Bewegung'. Nun weckt uns eine der profiliertesten Intellektuellen in ihrem Buch 'Die Entscheidung - Kapitalismus vs. Klima' aus der kollektiven Ohnmacht angesichts der Klimakatastrophe. Vergessen Sie alles, was Sie über den Klimawandel zu wissen glaubten: Es geht nicht nur um CO2-Emissionen, es geht um den Kapitalismus! In einer packenden Vision zeigt Naomi Klein (Jg. 1970), dass wir uns dieser existenziellen Herausforderung stellen können. Wir müssen unser Wirtschaftssystem des 'Immer-Mehr' aufgeben und etwas radikal Neues wagen. Denn überall auf der Welt gibt es bereits überraschende und inspirierende Alternativen. Brillant gedacht, fundiert recherchiert, ein Buch, das aufrüttelt, und ein Abend, der Lust auf die Zukunft macht. Mod.: Harald Schumann. Ein Gespräch mit Lesung im Rahmen der lit.COLOGNE 2015.
