It centres around social media’s erroneous conflation between the author and the oft-controversial Naomi Wolf. In this case of mistaken identity and nonfactual truths, Klein delves deep into the mirror world, providing a meta-analysis of the phenomenon of social media, conspiracy thinking, and the inherent risks of our collective digital embodiment. - Sam Show less
