Mark Fisher

Mark Fisher was an English writer and teacher whose short book Capitalist Realism named a feeling many people already had: that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Writing as k-punk, he joined music, film, and theory to explore depression, lost futures, and the ghosts that haunt popular culture.
