New book "End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World" by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, out on Sept 15, 2026.
It describes a new kind of fascism whose billionaire proponents are actively hastening the destruction of the world, via climate change, AI and financial chaos, to create a post-democratic world in which only they thrive and prosper.
The authors offer hope that these forces can be defeated through collective action.
