Summary

What if you woke up one morning and found you<U+2019>d acquired another self<U+2014>a double who was almost you and yet not you at all? Not long ago, activist and intellectual Naomi Klein had just such an experience<U+2014>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. Klein here turns her gaze inward to our psychic landscapes, and outward to the possibilities for building hope amid intersecting economic, medical, and political crises, asking, is there a cure for our moment of collective vertigo?
