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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a book for our age and for all of us; a deadly serious dark comedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 306g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 198 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781802061956\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naomi Klein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46216342896890,"sku":"9781802061956","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1717930111993_book.jpg?v=1718106392","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/doppelganger-a-trip-into-the-mirror-world-9781802061956","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
