I like fisher. Don't necessarily agree with him on the whole music thing but I like his writings in general. Ghosts of my life was kinda boring at times because it relied on whether or not you give a shit about uk pop culture. I'm currently reading post-capitalist desires and I like the ideas he's presenting a lot
>dfw
don't care about him at all desu.

other writers to add: david graeber, hollebecque, zizek, ryu murakami, byung chul-han, reza negarestani, thomas ligotti, david harvey
