“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 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
“[A] bold, clarifying intervention from Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor. . . . The important thing is to write in a way that makes people alive to problems around them and leaves them feeling empowered to respond. The authors succeed on both counts. . . . Their valuable contribution is to map out the frightening new territory in which we find ourselves, and point to an escape.” —Daniel Trilling, The Guardian
"Trenchant." —Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times
“Everyone should read it. It tells us exactly what’s going on.” —The Guardian
“Brilliant. . . . The end times fascists may want us to believe that the end of the world is nigh and inevitable but [End Times Fascism] shows, again and again, that there is a different way.” —NPR
“Uplifting. . . . This affirmative read contains a hopeful prescription for community resistance.” —The Irish Times
“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)
“Naomi is the finest mind on the left in the world. [She and Astra Taylor] have a new book called End Times Fascism And The Fight for The Living World that's coming out in the Fall and that I think will be a kind of playbook for a lot of how progressives respond to the fix we find ourselves in.” —Bill McKibben on “The Ezra Klein Show"
“This urgent and essential book explains why we should be extremely frightened of, and extremely angry about, the man-made wreckage of the present. It is an indictment of those that engineer and profit from this apocalyptic moment. But it also a vital rallying call for a new universalism, a humane and inspiring project which might ensure our collective emergence from this crisis.” —Max Porter, author of Shy and Grief Is the Thing with Feathers
"Hits you with its moral and intellectual force." —Karen Hao, author of Empire of AI
“End Times Fascism is an astonishingly clear account of, well, all of this. Zombie capitalism. Crony politics. Authoritarian buffoonery. The tyranny of bits and bytes. Rightly sober about dogmatic disaster capitalism, the prose is still joyful about humanity’s prospects.” —Tressie McMillan Cottom, New York Times opinion columnist and author of Lower Ed and Thick: And Other Essays
"Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor have written a masterpiece. Go preorder End Times Fascism." —Molly Crabapple, author of Drawing Blood
"Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor are a powerful duo who embody in their own collaborations the kind of solidarity we all require. . . . 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
“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)
“Penetrating and sobering, End Times Fascism is sure to cause a stir.” ―BookPage (starred review)
“[Hits] the moment with exquisite timing. . . . [Klein and Taylor] admirably invert the sense of helplessness and inevitability in the face of seeming juggernauts.” —Zero Carbon with Chris Hatch, Canada’s National Observer
“End Times Fascism is a thoughtful and engaging read that deftly weaves journalism into a cohesive premise about our current political condition.” —The Conversation
