Favorite Quote

On either side of the reflective glass, we are not having disagreements about differing interpretations of reality – we are having disagreements about who is in reality and who is in a simulation.

Naomi Klein

Introduction

Confusing one person with someone else is something we've all done. Sometimes, it's an honest mistake due to a particular hairstyle or mannerism; other times, it's a sign of deeper societal issues like racial stereotyping.

When it happens to someone famous, however, getting mixed up with another person is seen as a branding issue.

Naomi Klein is an award-winning Canadian author and social activist known for her 2014 bestseller, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate.

Published in 2023, Doppelganger is a memoir and cultural analysis inspired by Klein's experience of being confused with another author who shares her first name but not her values.
