End Times Fascism

A blistering exposé of the new far-right apocalyptic alliance that's on the move around the globe - and how we resist

The far right is on the march again – but this time it’s different. A new, apocalyptic alliance of religious fundamentalists, billionaire Silicon Valley tech kings and ethno-nationalists is on the move. They’re united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, and they welcome a future of shocks, scarcity and collapse, convinced they’ll be among the saved on the other side.

In this blistering reckoning with our age, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor take us deep into this man-made Armageddon complex – and show us how to resist it. Around the globe, they investigate how those who are making our world unliveable are preparing to protect themselves from the fallout, whether it’s by repairing to luxurious private islands, or bunkering nations against a dehumanized ‘other’.

If we’re to meet this critical moment and defend what’s left of democracy before it’s smashed up beyond repair, Klein and Taylor argue, we must break the doom loop, and tell a story not of end times – but of better times.
