Two of the world’s most influential and award-winning thinkers, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, have joined forces in their new book End Times Fascism. They provide a scathing investigation of, and strategies for fighting against, the Christian nationalists, Silicon Valley reactionaries, and populist survivalists who define the contemporary, apocalyptic right.
Naomi Klein’s work has bolstered and expanded the global fight for justice, equality, and environmentalism. An award-winning journalist, filmmaker, and author, Klein’s now classic books, including Doppelganger, No Logo, and The Shock Doctrine, have been translated into 35 languages. No Logo was included in The Guardian’s list of 100 Greatest Non-Fiction Books of All Time, and No Is Not Enough was nominated for the National Book Award. Klein’s support of organized labor and ecofeminism, as well as her criticism of capitalism, fascism, and corporate globalization, have made her one of the world’s most influential thinkers. She is an associate professor of geography and co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia.
Astra Taylor is an award-winning writer, activist, and documentarian. She cofounded the Debt Collective, a union fighting to cancel debt, work that has made her an influential critic of late capitalism. She is the author of The People’s Platform, which won the American Book Award; Democracy May Not Exist, But We’ll Miss It When It’s Gone; and The Age of Insecurity. Taylor regularly writes for publications including The New Yorker and The New York Times, and was the 2023 CBC Massey Lecturer. She also toured with the band Neutral Milk Hotel, playing the guitar and accordion.
Klein and Taylor are co-authors of End Times Fascism, a scathing investigation into the apocalyptic thinking of the Christian nationalists, Silicon Valley reactionaries, and populist survivalists who increasingly define the contemporary right. As they unveil the people and organizations who are making the world more unlivable for everyone else, Klein and Taylor offer strategies for fighting back.
