What Naomi Klein Found Down the Steve Bannon Rabbit Hole

Published: Sept. 7, 2023, 9 a.m.

For years, Naomi Klein has had a problem: the author and Guardian columnist has been chronically confused with Naomi Wolf, a conspiracy theorist and favorite guest of Steve Bannon\u2019s podcast. This is the premise of Klein\u2019s new book, Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World, where she investigates how her dark twin fell down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole \u2013 and what that tells us about the lure of conspiratorial thinking and its dangerous use as a political strategy. Today, we talk to Klein about her journey deep into Steve Bannon\u2019s podcast archive, anti-vaxx groups online, and more realms of what she calls \u201cThe Mirror World.\u201d\xa0\n\nYou can find Kara and Nayeema on Instagram/Threads @karaswisher and @nayeemaraza and Naomi Klein @naomiaklein.\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
