Get the Summary of Naomi Klein's Doppelganger in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "Doppelganger" by Naomi Klein is a deep dive into the author's unsettling experience of being mistaken for her ideological opposite, Naomi Wolf. Klein's journey is sparked by her own mistaken identity during Occupy Wall Street and leads her to investigate the rise of anti-democratic forces and the cultural dynamics of doubling, where online avatars and personal brands create fragmented identities. The book examines the psychological and societal implications of having a doppelganger, the polarization of identities, and the historical doubling of race, ethnicity, and gender. Klein contrasts her consistent focus on corporate exploitation and environmentalism with Wolf's shift towards authoritarianism and conspiracy theories, highlighting the confusion and frustration caused by their digital identity mix-up.
