Capitalist realism: is there no alternative ? (Mark fisher, 2009)

An incredible critique of our modern society that is still sharp even 15 years after its initial publication - I’ve read and annotated my copy many times, and always come back to it around New Years. The link is to a full pdf of the book, which is under 100 pages "The tiniest event can tear a hole in the grey curtain of reaction which has marked the horizons of possibility under capitalist realism. From a situation in which nothing can happen, suddenly anything is possible again" (Fisher, 81).

MARK FISHER

He wrote capitalist realism, exiting the vampire castle, many other published lectures but he created kpunk (accessible online blog) which is super cool. He was an awesome dude with so many ideas. He‘s great to read whether you agree with him or not.

Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher

I honestly hadn’t heard about this book until I saw a shit ton of memes about it a few years ago. Capitalist Realism is a very worthwhile read and I can definitely see why it's so popular now. Fisher does a great job articulating the cultural experience of neoliberalism. This book set me on the right path in life. I also got much smarter and more attractive after reading it.

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
