In the new book “End Times Fascism,” co-author Naomi Klein argues that a far-right coalition of tech billionaires, Christian extremists, and ethno-nationalists are hastening and profiting from global catastrophe. “They’re not just building their own arks, they're also causing the floods.”
Is the apocalyptic mood in our culture today just in our imagination, or are we witnessing the rise of a dangerous new political reality? Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor co-authored ‘End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World' to help understand that question.
