The book documents the journey of a global generation who grew increasingly disillusioned with the omnipresence of advertising and the commodification of culture.

In contrast to the popular myth of this movement's peaceful global victory, Klein shows how it has exploited moments of shock and extreme violence in order to implement its economic policies in so many parts of the world, from Latin America and Eastern Europe to South Africa, Russia, and Iraq.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of disaster capitalism is the use of cataclysmic events to advance radical privatization combined with the privatization of the disaster response itself. Klein argues that by capitalizing on crises, created by nature or war, the disaster capitalism complex now exists as a booming new economy, and is the violent culmination of a radical economic project that has been incubating for fifty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47398059770092,"sku":"9780312427993","price":61.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5848723482299.jpg?v=1773739613"},{"product_id":"doppelganger-by-naomi-klein-9781250338143","title":"Doppelganger","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA finalist for the 2023 National Book Critics Circle Award\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the Women's Prize for Nonfiction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational Indie Bestseller\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e notable book of 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eVulture\u003c\/i\u003e's #1 book of 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e's ten best books of 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e best ideas book of 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e's ten best books of 2023\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the Pacific Northwest Book Award\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"I've been raving about Naomi Klein's \u003ci\u003eDoppelganger\u003c\/i\u003e...

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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNaomi 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 humour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombining comic memoir with chilling reportage and cobweb-clearing analysis, Klein seeks to smash that mirror and chart a path beyond despair. \u003ci\u003eDoppelganger\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47642841678060,"sku":"9781250338143","price":53.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4773c832f358470938b003267883db0e.jpg?v=1779161507"},{"product_id":"end-times-fascism-by-astra-taylor-9780241848395","title":"End Times Fascism","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA blistering expose of the new far-right apocalyptic alliance that's on the move around the globe - and how we resist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe far right is on the march again - but this time it's different.
