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.

Has anyone ever been better equipped to elucidate our times? Such a pity he isn't here to enlighten us again

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.

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

Provocative

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

Started promisingly but seemed to degenerate into pseudery quite a bit, and the choice of topics diverged from the supposed topic of the book. Then I found out they were mainly old blog posts and the book doesn't really have a theme, except whatever was in the mind of the person who collected these together. However the narrator was good and breathed life into these articles, and there was some thought-provoking stuff in here, in-between all the pining for the 90s rave scene. I think if I'd have realised these were just all posts from his blog before buying this I would have just read them online instead and saved the credit.

Jumble of previously published articles, well-read
