Naomi Klein: Facing the mirror world of digital doppelgangers

What if you found you’d acquired another self—an online double who seemed to be you but wasn’t you at all? In an era filled with conspiracy, disinformation, and digital distortion, what does it mean to be seen—but misrepresented and misunderstood?

In this webinar, hear from acclaimed author, intellectual, and UBC professor Naomi Klein as she discusses her award-winning book, Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World. Delve into shifting dynamics of identity, perception, and power—and what these changes reflect about our world.

This event is presented by the alumni UBC Book Club, the UBC Faculty of Arts, and the UBC Sauder School of Business.
