What I love about Naomi Klein’s body of work is her ability to recognize patterns across events we’re encouraged to understand as separate, and how she has followed those connections over decades. The Shock Doctrine is one of my favorite books of hers, and it feels more relevant than ever today. This idea that power counts on the disorientation of warfare and constant crisis in order to persevere, and how that unsettled feeling carries into the mirror world of Doppelganger. The idea for this animation grew out of those connections and the promise of escape in End Times Fascism, with you and your double racing toward the salvation promised by the tech oligarchs, only to discover it exists solely in the mirror world.

From the destabilizations of The Shock Doctrine to the disorientation of Doppelgangers, @NaomiAKlein has spent decades showing us how power moves. Today she joins me live to talk about the billionaires planning their escape from the world they’re wrecking. Join us at 7pm Central as we talk about Musk, Thiel and their bunker in the sky.
