THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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 from anything we’ve seen before. 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.

This is the world of End Times Fascism.

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 through climate chaos and job-consuming AI are preparing to protect themselves from the fallout, whether it’s by repairing to luxurious private islands for the super-rich, rocketing off to Mars or bunkering nations against a dehumanized ‘other’.

But, Klein and Taylor reveal, the new supremacist survivalists are far from impregnable. They have no vision of a shared future. All they offer are remixes of a bygone past: the nihilistic, sadistic pleasures of domination. If we’re to meet this critical moment and defend what’s left of democracy before it’s smashed up beyond repair, we must break the doom loop, and find a new way of living together, rooted in our existence on this earth, in the here and now. A story not of end times – but of better times. This book shows us how.

Critic reviews

'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)
[A] bold, clarifying intervention... Their valuable contribution is to map out the frightening new territory in which we find ourselves, and point to an escape (Daniel Trilling)
For those who since Trump’s first term have debated whether fascism is back, Klein and Taylor make a convincing argument in the affirmative... But they warn that history is not a repeating loop. Instead it spirals, taking us to places that look familiar but are changed by unpredictable new developments. Watch for yellow stars or jackboots and you’ll miss the facial-recognition databases... The value of End Times Fascism, as always with Klein, is in the connections it makes. She noted recently that her work is pattern recognition. The particular genius of her writing has been to combine compelling reporting with an ability to see the oblique lines linking apparently disparate trends (Anthea Lawson)

I had so many dots inside my mind and this book helped join them so elegantly yet painfully together. I think the creation of this book was a heroic act. It makes for deeply uncomfortable listening (reality can have a habit of doing that to you) but despite this, the book is also hopeful. It points us in the direction of hope and action rather than obliteration. There really are more of us than there are of them. It’s worth noting that the narration from the authors is spot on. A perfect tagteam.

The book I most needed to and least wanted to listen to. Timely and urgent.

This book will stand the test of time and will be read for many, many years and still be accurate and relevant. The authors have accomplished and amazing piece of work that everyone should read. It gives us a worldwide view of far-right movements, how they expanded in recent years, what are their tactics to galvanize fear into day to day life, so they can achieve their goals. It also explains very well how Big Tech and "tech bros" agendas and plans for the near future, where "we", the common citizen, will not take part, we will not have access to bunkers, or satelite cities floating around Earth. But it also gives glimpses of hope. An amazing book, I'll definitely buy a hard copy to keep and re-read. Naomi never disappoints.

Super accurate and relevant!
