I'm more than halfway done with the book. Fisher's writing is insufferable and incredibly irritating. His overuse of neologisms and just straight up made up words already exposes him as a pseud of the highest order, but the fact that he tries to show off his knowledge of increasingly obscure British music seals the deal.
This shouldn't even be a book, a short paragraph would suffice instead of repeating the same halfway interesting point ad nauseam: our culture is stuck in a permanent state of nostalgia and longs for any sort of future that isn't neoliberal capitalism.
If his writing is as trite and his message as obvious in Capitalist Realism as it is here, then I'm not even going to bother with that other book.

Read the first chapter. Fisher is insufferable pseud

Christ. Maybe he should have gotten a life instead of interacting with reality solely through corporate media.

I've read it & am currently writing about it for a graduate course I'm in. He's got a really fun style that keep you interested. His prose is actually really charming. If you have specific questions about the content or what you're interested in, I could answer them possibly.

Also, pic related is a great book that builds on Derrida's idea of "hauntology". It's an excellent collection of essays that cover things from Burial and Kanye West to The Shining and Inception. A very fun yet compelling read.
