Are there any books about modern capitalism / late capitalism / neoliberalism which specifically focus on developments over the past twenty years?

Mark Fisher is relevant, and also Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han was an interesting read. Mark Fisher also mentions the book Precarious Rhapsody in a lecture, which is apparently about how attention spans have been negatively impacted by the emphasis on speed and productivity in the modern workplace.

What the fuck bros. Are women even human at this point?

Anybody here read much of Mark Fisher?

I binged on a few of his Youtube speeches but it was all pretty vague and abstract. Marathoned an 3-4 page essay on the Benefits Street programme from a book of his collected writings I bought a few months back and it was kinda interesting. Should I read more of his stuff?
