Naomi Klein, Astra Taylor and Robin D.G. Kelley

Writers Bloc Presents Naomi Klein, Astra Taylor and Robin D.G. Kelley Wednesday, September 23, 2026 7:30pm Writers Guild Theater 135 S. Doheny Dr. Beverly Hills, CA 90211 General Admission Ticket: $25 General Admission Ticket With Book, End Times Fascism: $52 What do the religious right, big tech, and end-times survivalists, have in common? What could possibly link these three strange bedfellows, these components of American politics? Leading writers on political trends, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor explore the common threads of end-timers who see apocalyptic doom all around them. In their new book, End Times Fascism, Klein and Taylor show how they are ultra rich, wield political power and lay waste to the environment–at the cost of humanity. Klein and Taylor want to create a movement with momentum. They have solutions for fighting back–from protesting the energy suck of massive data centers to organizing as communities, as did Minneapolis, to protect our cities from destructive forces. Klein and Taylor are not only optimistic, they’re adamant in their belief that the planet– and the future– is ours to save. Naomi Klein is the internationally renowned bestselling author of such books as The Shock Doctrine, and Doppelganger. Astra Taylor is a writer, activist, and documentarian and the author of The People’s Platform, which won the American Book Award, and Democracy May Not Exist But We’ll Miss It When It is Gone.
