About this listen

This collection of writings by Mark Fisher, author of the acclaimed Capitalist Realism, argues that we are haunted by futures that failed to happen. Fisher searches for the traces of these lost futures in the work of David Peace, John Le Carré, Christopher Nolan, Joy Division, Burial, and many others.

Full of rabbit holes for the curious mind to jump down. Tragic the MF is no longer with us. Fortunately his writings live on. Well narrated selection of articles that inspire and provoke

Very well thought out and inspires thinking on the part of reader (or listener). What an amazing guy he was. Well recorded too by a great narrator. its essentially an collection of essays on the broad theme of hauntology mostly through music.

it kind of requires a little knowledge and interest in obscure music i supose to fully appreciate. There are so many cult culitral references here too.

Introduces us to hauntology on a deeper level.

Worth a punt! it's lead me to investigate much music and film that he mentions that I didn't know about. And to revist some of rhe ones I knew already.

Very interesting and challenging observations on modern life, depression, isolation and the future. But cotnaing my raid references to pop culture in the uk, it can be at times difficult to follow if you don't know the references. Lastly, beware of the ostentatiously loquacious employment of language.

Great but you'll need to be steeped in media

Some fascinating ideas and relatively well presented, unfortunately I wasn’t expecting the music focus to take up so much of the book.
