End Times Fascism

“Trenchant.”
–Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times

“Brilliant … It’s hard to imagine better guides to lay out the threats before us. Crucially, Klein and Taylor also illuminate a path forward, highlighting not just the corrections we must make to our broken systems but also the many ways people are already building an alternative vision and fighting for our singular, precious world … The end times fascists may want us to believe that the end of the world is nigh and inevitable but this book shows, again and again, that there is a different way. It’s up to us to follow it.”
–Ericka Taylor, NPR

“Smart and provocative … The greatest virtue of End Times Fascism, a dive into our current political miasma, is that its authors, the accomplished journalists and activists Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, do the work of synthesizing all of this and more with ambition and elegance, giving us a comprehensive interpretation of What It All Means, Why It’s Happening and How We Should Respond.”
–Damon Linker, The New York Times

“Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor are a powerful duo who embody in their own collaborations the kind of solidarity we all require. They show how one can find the formulations that touch the suffering and the aspirations of those who are looking for language, connection, and a life-affirming vision of the world. Their analysis of contemporary fascism is grounded and convincing - and I love the explosion of language that comes from their conversations, their passion, and their insistence that we make a vibrant common life on earth that reverses climate catastrophe and affirms social and economic equality.”
–Judith Butler, philosopher and author of Who’s Afraid of Gender

“This might be the most important book you read. Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor have managed to brilliantly organize this terrifying world into a clear, completely understandable vision of potential apocalypses while simultaneously showing us how to fight for the beauty and wonder of here, and for each other.”
–V (formerly Eve Ensler)

“Penetrating and sobering, End Times Fascism is sure to cause a stir.”
–BookPage (starred review)

“Klein and Taylor cogently examine the way technocrats, survivalists, and religious purists have rejoiced in the paradigm shift from societal sustainability to utopian upheaval … While the message of impending doom pervades the narrative, the authors’ profoundly insightful analysis delineates concrete, achievable methods for navigating this daunting new territory.”
–Booklist (starred review)

“From two of the left’s sharpest thinkers, this inspired book maps the ideas common to three virulent strains of contemporary politics … Righteously alarmed, the authors have given us a new way to grasp some of our biggest problems. [End Times Fascism is] an astute, original-minded analysis of the apocalyptic thinking that links tech, politics, and religion.”
–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
