Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World by Naomi Klein
Did not finish book. Stopped at 68%.
I'm dnf'ing this at 68%. The book doesn't really align with my reading goals at the moment, so I'm not sure why I even wanted to read it. Also I just haven't managed to get invested, and this far along I'm doubting it will ever happen.
The premise of the book is very interesting but I don't think the concept is strong enough. The main focus of this book so far has been covid and conspiracy theories, combined with the indifference of states and the predatory nature of corporations, the things that Klein is famous for.
At this point I don't feel like the book has much new to offer. These topics and points of view have been repeated time and time again. Some chapters are stronger than others, but often Klein just veers into directions that go too far from the point and then has trouble finding her way back.
I'm not against any of Klein's points, it's just that these topics aren't interesting to me anymore if you don't have any new information or analysis to give me.
