Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World with Naomi Klein Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

Jann welcomes Caitlin back this week with questions about Will's modelling career, she asks Sarah about a first date, and welcomes a very special guest; award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, Naomi Klein. Naomi is a syndicated columnist and the international bestselling author behind a new book she calls Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World. From her website: 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. Braiding together elements of tragicomic memoir, chilling political reportage, and cobweb-clearing cultural analysis, Naomi Klein dives deep into what she calls the Mirror World—our destabilized present rife with doubles and confusion, where far-right movements playact solidarity with the working class, AI-generated content blurs the line between genuine and spurious, New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers further scramble our familiar political allegiances, and so many of us project our own carefully curated digital doubles out into the social media sphere.
