Reseña del libro "Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World (en Inglés)"

A finalist for the 2023 National Book Critics Circle AwardNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER National Indie Bestseller A New York Times notable book of 2023 Vulture's #1 book of 2023One of Slate's ten best books of 2023 A Guardian best ideas book of 2023 One of Time's ten best books of 2023 Winner of the Pacific Northwest Book Award "I've been raving about Naomi Klein's Doppelganger . . . I can't think of another text that better captures the berserk period we're living through." --Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times "If I had to name a single book that makes sense of these last few dark years, it would be this one." --Katie Roiphe, The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) What if you woke up one morning and found you'd acquired another self--a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? What if that double shared many of your preoccupations but, in a twisted, upside-down way, furthered the very causes you'd devoted your life to fighting against? Not long ago, the celebrated activist and public intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience--she was confronted with a doppelganger whose views she found abhorrent but whose name and public persona were sufficiently similar to her own that many people got confused about who was who. Destabilized, she lost her bearings, until she began to understand the experience as one manifestation of a strangeness many of us have come to know but struggle to define: AI-generated text is blurring the line between genuine and spurious communication; New Age wellness entrepreneurs turned anti-vaxxers are scrambling familiar political allegiances of left and right; and liberal democracies are teetering on the edge of absurdist authoritarianism, even as the oceans rise. Under such conditions, reality itself seems to have become unmoored. Is there a cure for our moment of collective vertigo? Naomi Klein is one of our most trenchant and influential social critics, an essential analyst of what branding, austerity, and climate profiteering have done to our societies and souls. Here she turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical, and political crises. With the assistance of Sigmund Freud, Jordan Peele, Alfred Hitchcock, and bell hooks, among other accomplices, Klein uses wry humor and a keen sense of the ridiculous to face the strange doubles that haunt us--and that have come to feel as intimate and proximate as a warped reflection in the mirror. Combining comic memoir with chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Klein seeks to smash that mirror and chart a path beyond despair. Doppelganger asks: What do we neglect as we polish and perfect our digital reflections? Is it possible to dispose of our doubles and overcome the pathologies of a culture of multiplication? Can we create a politics of collective care and undertake a true reckoning with historical crimes? The result is a revelatory treatment of the way many of us think and feel now--and an intellectual adventure story for our times.

Naomi Klein nació el 8 de mayo de 1970 en Montreal, Canadá, en el seno de una familia de activistas políticos. Su infancia estuvo marcada por el compromiso social y la creatividad: su abuelo fue animador en Disney y sindicalista, y sus padres emigraron a Canadá desde Estados Unidos en protesta por la guerra de Vietnam. Klein estudió filosofía y literatura en la Universidad de Toronto, aunque abandonó temporalmente la carrera para trabajar como periodista en The Globe and Mail

Klein es una de las voces más influyentes del pensamiento crítico contemporáneo, reconocida por su análisis del poder corporativo, la globalización y la crisis climática. Su obra combina el periodismo de investigación, el ensayo y la denuncia social, abordando temas como el capitalismo de marca, el neoliberalismo, la manipulación mediática y la justicia climática. Ha sido profesora universitaria, columnista en medios internacionales y codirectora del Centre for Climate Justice en la Universidad de Columbia Británica.

Entre sus obras más famosas encontramos: No Logo (1999), Vallas y ventanas (2002), La toma (2004) o el La doctrina del shock (2007).
