PositiveQuill and QuireNaomi Klein is angry. The author of No Logo and The Shock Doctrine, and a self-confessed former climate change skeptic, comes out swinging in a book that takes direct aim at corporations, governments, and – surprisingly – climate activists ... Klein has forged a career out of criticizing the mechanisms of corporate dominance and government malfeasance; what is impressive here is her level gaze, which makes the righteous anger seething through almost every word that much more potent ... Klein’s optimism is more muted than her fury, lending the second half of this book a vague feeling of anticlimax. (There is also a frankly unnecessary and distracting digression into the author’s own attempts to get pregnant in her thirties.) However, when she harnesses her rage at humanity’s inability to see what is right in front of us, she is no mere polemicist or propagandist. She is a force of nature.
