Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein
What if you woke up one morning to find you had a double—someone almost like you, but not you at all? What if that double shared your preoccupations but furthered the very causes you’d fought against? Naomi Klein faced this when she encountered a doppelgänger so similar in name and persona but with views she found so abhorrent that it left her unmoored. Doppelganger is a tragicomic memoir that examines the motif of the double through history, popular culture, and Klein’s own life. It offers profound insights into identity and the impact of misinformation.
