August Online Book Club: Doppelganger by Naomi Klein

Online
Book Club

We have created an online book club exclusively for UBC alumni, focusing on lifelong learning, leadership, harnessing creativity, communication skills and much, much more. The book club will connect through a private forum where alumni can discuss the current book and connect with each other.

The Next Online Book Club Selection

Step into a disorienting hall of mirrors in our polarized digital era with Naomi Klein’s Doppelganger.  

When renowned intellectual, author, and activist Naomi Klein was frequently mistaken for another public figure who espoused opposing views, she embarked upon a foray into the murky realm of digital doubles, conspiracy cultures, and twisted logic. From far-right echo chambers and anti-vax influencers to AI distortions, Klein uses her trademark ability to bring clarity to confusion in Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World.
