Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World
Naomi Klein kept being mistaken for Naomi Wolf, and followed the confusion somewhere much stranger.
Klein uses a persistent case of mistaken identity as the way into a book about political doubling: how figures from the left ended up on the conspiracist right, how the pandemic scrambled old alignments, and what the mirror world offers people. Self-aware about her own position, which is most of what makes it work.

Naomi Klein, Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World. How much insight and self-awareness can one intellectually crazy person have about being confused for another intellectually crazy person? Quite a bit, it turns out. Recommended, though with the provision that I understand you never felt you needed to read a whole book about such a topic.
