Capitalist realism: is there no alternative ? (Mark fisher, 2009)

An incredible critique of our modern society that is still sharp even 15 years after its initial publication - I’ve read and annotated my copy many times, and always come back to it around New Years. The link is to a full pdf of the book, which is under 100 pages "The tiniest event can tear a hole in the grey curtain of reaction which has marked the horizons of possibility under capitalist realism. From a situation in which nothing can happen, suddenly anything is possible again" (Fisher, 81).

Capitalist Realism by Mark Fisher

I honestly hadn’t heard about this book until I saw a shit ton of memes about it a few years ago. Capitalist Realism is a very worthwhile read and I can definitely see why it's so popular now. Fisher does a great job articulating the cultural experience of neoliberalism. This book set me on the right path in life. I also got much smarter and more attractive after reading it.

reading on your lunch break

1. helps me relax + clear my head + forget about work way more than going on my phone (plus i go on my phone secretly all day anyway so it's not even a treat to do it at lunch) 2. i've burned through a ton of books by reading just 15-30 minutes per day. i recommend this very much if you find it hard to "find time" to read

the jar by ray bradbury

a man buys "one of those pale things drifting in alcohol plasma" in a jar from a sideshow. he and his neighbors look at it and wonder what's inside. weird, whimsical, sad. kind of a story about stories, belief, and coping with life.
