About the Book

Naomi Klein, una de las periodistas más influyentes del mundo y autora de bestsellers como No logo y La doctrina del shock, nos ofrece en Doppelganger un análisis revelador del laberinto de espejos de la política de hoy y de las realidades inciertas del universo digital.


¿Qué pasaría si te despertaras una mañana y descubrieras que has adquirido otro yo, un doble que casi eres tú, pero que en realidad no lo es? ¿Qué pasaría si ese doble compartiera muchas de tus preocupaciones, pero de forma totalmente opuesta, y promoviera aquellas causas contra las que has luchado toda tu vida?


Cuando Naomi Klein descubrió en las redes a una mujer con su nombre de pila, pero con opiniones dañinas y radicalmente diferentes a las suyas, a la que confundían crónicamente con ella, parecía demasiado ridículo para tomárselo en serio. Hasta que dejó de serlo.


De repente empezó a enfrentarse a una realidad distorsionada, a obsesionarse con las amenazas que recibía en línea, con los interminables insultos de los seguidores de su doble. ¿Por qué su otra sombra había seguido un camino tan extremo? ¿Por qué la identidad --todo lo que tenemos para enfrentarnos al mundo-- puede ser tan inestable?


Llena de confusión y dispuesta a encontrar las respuestas, Klein decidió seguir a su doble en un extraño e insólito mundo espejo y, al hacerlo, pone al descubierto nuestra propia cultura en este momento surrealista de la historia, en el que nos hemos convertido en pulidas marcas virtuales.


Doppelganger es un libro para nuestra época y para todos nosotros; una comedia negra absolutamente seria que nos invita a enfrentarnos a nuestros reflejos en el espejo. Es para cualquiera que haya perdido horas en el pozo sin fondo que es Internet, que se haya preguntado por qué nuestra política se ha deformado tanto y que quiera salir del vértigo colectivo y volver a luchar por lo que de verdad importa.

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.

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.
