There's something here for literally everyone. As good as I thought it would be. Easy to read if you are a few years out of practice on the academic texts. Should be required reading in every freshman seminar.

Mark Fisher is easily one of the most prolific documenters of the tragedies of late stage capitalism. The best part? anyone can read his works and relate to the stifling malaise he expresses so eloquently. Beautiful, a perfect 10.

This collection of his unpublished works testify to the dedication to Pop culture and theory I would have no doubt Acid Communism would have been his magnum opus. Sadly he was gone too soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite writer
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 10, 2018

The modernist desire for innovation was in the air we breathed when we were young men. It was what art was supposed to do - it was supposed to reinvent the world, make you see it with fresh eyes. It was the encounter with the genuinely strange, the unfamiliar, that we sought. Everything in my life has been directed towards those sorts of encounters, in my personal life as much as in the literature and art and music I was drawn to. You can see it in Mark Fisher's writing, not just in the arguments he's making, or in the descriptions of the ongoing cultural stasis, or in the music, post punk, jungle, that he loves. You can see it in the writing, which always strives, even at the level of the individual sentence, to lead you somewhere unexpected, somewhere that isn't facile or commonplace, somewhere genuinely new. He was the great writer of my generation, I think. And also someone with whom I had a great deal in common - so much in fact that often I can't remember whether the things I'm writing or thinking are things I read in k-punk or whether they predate that point. Some kind of Neuromancer Wintermute fusing of consciousness. He had a way of articulating the things I was only vaguely aphasically thinking, that were hovering around the edges of consciousness, half formed. There's a generosity in these pieces and a total sincerity and integrity, as well as the bravery to make yourself vulnerable, to put your head above the parapet, to risk middlebrow mockery. I love all of that. I think you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars ‘Coherence in contradiction expresses the force of desire’ Derrida
Reviewed in Australia on April 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
The joy of this book for me is that Fisher’s Blogs are full of erudite, working class anger, expressed through reflections on a variety of topics - music; TV; Film, politics, I.e. culture - all revealing a profound hope for a better life for the millions living in the void of neo-liberalism/capitalism/post-Fordism. Clutching at the slightest opportunity for political ‘optimism’ (elections; student unrest; potential alliances) - although he would, no doubt have denied absolutely any commitment to optimism or hope, the latter which he identified as a ‘superstition’ ‘which arise[s] from our incapacity to actually act’ - Fisher was consistently disappointed, as many on the left are, by subsequent outcomes. That Fisher maintained his ‘optimism’ certainly did express the force of his desire, notwithstanding his untimely and very sad death; noting perhaps that good ideas such as many of those espoused by Fisher never really die nor the desire for them, even if both may appear dormant for a spell.
