Naomi Klein – författare

Vi lever i en tid där högerextrema rörelser flörtar vilt med arbetarklassen och där AI-genererat innehåll ständigt luckrar upp gränsen mellan sant och falskt. Författaren och aktivisten Naomi Klein kallar vår nya verklighet ett slags spegelland, fyllt av förvillande skuggspel, digitala återspeglingar och fake news.

I sin nya bok konfronterar Klein konspirationstänkandet och vår politiskt polariserade samtid genom att vända sig till bland annat Sigmund Freud, Jordan Peele, Alfred Hitchcock och bell hooks. Allt med utgångspunkt i hur hon själv ofta sammanblandats med den amerikanska författaren och namnen Naomi Wolf. Kan vi med dagens förutsättningar bygga en politik grundad i omsorg om det gemensamma? 

Doppelgänger är en personlig och tankeväckande skildring av vår tids självupptagenhet, en intellektuell resa bortom hopplösheten.

NAOMI KLEIN är en kanadensisk författare, journalist och aktivist - och en av vår tids största tänkare. Hon är känd för sina banbrytande verk om globalisering, kapitalism och klimatförändringar som No logo, Chockdoktrinen och Det här förändrar allt. 

"´Doppelgängers´ styrka ligger i elegansen i metaforen, och i hur ärlig Klein är med att de två spegelbilderna har många likheter, hur ogärna personerna på respektive sida än vill." Marika Lindgren Åsbrink, Aftonbladet

"...en ur alla synvinklar svindlande läsupplevelse." Dagens Nyheter, Sara Martinsson

"...en måsteläsning i vår förvirrade tid, där paranoian och rädslan för den andre tycks växa sig allt större. Doppelgänger slår ett slag för intellektuell komplexitet och hederlighet, och är en lisa att läsa." Göteborgs-Posten, Sanna Samuelsson

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of No Is Not Enough by Naomi Klein, read by Brit Marling.Naomi Klein - award-winning journalist, bestselling author of No Logo, The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything, scourge of brand bullies and corporate liars - gives us the toolkit we need to survive our surreal, shocking age. ''Trump, as extreme as he is, is less an aberration than a logical conclusion - a pastiche of pretty much all the worst and most dangerous trends of the past half century. A one-man megabrand, with wife and children as spin-off brands...''Remember when it all seemed to be getting better? Before Trump happened? Naomi Klein, internationally acclaimed journalist, activist and bestselling author, shows us how we got to this surreal and dangerous place, how to stop it getting a lot worse, and how, if we keep our heads, we can make things better. No Is Not Enough reveals, among other things, how Trump''s election was not a peaceful transition, but a corporate takeover, one using deliberate shock tactics to generate wave after wave of crises and force through radical policies that will destroy people, the environment, the economy and national security. This book is the toolkit for shock resistance, showing all of us how we can break Trump''s spell and win the world we need. Don''t let them get away with it.''Naomi is like a great doctor - she can diagnose problems nobody else sees'' Alfonso Cuarón''I count her among the most inspirational political thinkers in the world today'' Arundhati Roy''Naomi Klein as a writer is an accusing angel'' John Berger

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein, read by Katherine Fenton.Around the world in Britain, the United States, Asia and the Middle East, there are people with power who are cashing in on chaos; exploiting bloodshed and catastrophe to brutally remake our world in their image. They are the shock doctors.Exposing these global profiteers, Naomi Klein discovered information and connections that shocked even her about how comprehensively the shock doctors'' beliefs now dominate our world - and how this domination has been achieved. Raking in billions out of the tsunami, plundering Russia, exploiting Iraq - this is the chilling tale of how a few are making a killing while more are getting killed.''Packed with thinking dynamite ... a book to be read everywhere'' John Berger''If you only read one non-fiction book this year, make it this one'' Metro Books of the Year''There are a few books that really help us understand the present. The Shock Doctrine is one of those books'' John Gray, Guardian

Penguin presents No Logo by Naomi Klein, read by Nicola BarberNo logo employs journalistic savvy and personal testament to detail the insidious practices and far-reaching effects of corporate marketing - and the powerful potential of a growing activist sect that will surely alter the course of the 21st Century. This is an infuriating, inspiring, and altogether pioneering work of cultural criticism that investigates money, marketing and the anti-corporate movement. As global corporations compete for the hearts and wallets of consumers who not only buy their products but willingly advertise them from head to toe a new generation has begun to battle consumerism with its own best weapons. in this provocative study we learn how the Nike swoosh has changed from an athletic, status-symbol to a metaphor for sweatshop labour, how teenaged McDonald''s workers are risking their jobs to join the Teamsters, and how culture jammers utilise spray paint, computer hacking acumen and anti-propagandist wordplay to undercut the slogans and meanings of billboard ads.

Brought to you by Penguin.On Fire by Naomi Klein is read by Rebecca Lowman with an introduction read by the author.For more than twenty years, Naomi Klein has been the foremost chronicler of the economic war waged on both people and planet - and the champion of a sweeping environmental agenda with justice at its centre. Her books have defined our era. On Fire gathers for the first time more than a decade of her impassioned writing from the frontline of climate change, and pairs it with new material on the staggeringly high stakes of what we choose to do next. These essays, reports and lectures show Klein at her most prophetic and philosophical, investigating the climate crisis not only as a profound political challenge but also as a spiritual and imaginative one. Delving into topics ranging from the clash between ecological time and our culture of "perpetual now," to rising white supremacy and fortressed borders as a form of "climate barbarism," this is a rousing call to action for a planet on the brink.

Brought to you by Penguin.*WINNER OF THE WOMEN''S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**A BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR THE TIMES, NEW YORK TIMES, GUARDIAN, OBSERVER, AND PROSPECT*When Naomi Klein discovered that a woman who shared her first name, but had radically different, harmful views, was getting chronically mistaken for her, it seemed too ridiculous to take seriously. 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?To 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.This is a book for our age and for all of us; a deadly serious dark comedy which invites us to view our reflections in the looking glass. It''s for anyone who has lost hours down an internet rabbit hole, who wonders why our politics has become so fatally warped, and who wants a way out of our collective vertigo and back to fighting for what really matters.‘If I had to name a single book that makes sense of these last few dark years, it would be this one’ New York Times‘A deeply compelling read … urgent and necessary’ Evening StandardNaomi Klein, author of era-defining bestsellers, The Shock Doctrine, This Changes Everything and No Logo, is back with her most compulsive and personal book yet: a revelatory journey into the mirror world of our polarised age©2023 Naomi Klein (P)2023 Penguin Audio
