This collection of writings by Mark Fisher, author of the acclaimed Capitalist Realism, argues that we are haunted by futures that failed to happen. Fisher searches for the traces of these lost futures in the work of David Peace, John Le Carré, Christopher Nolan, Joy Division, Burial and many others.

Review of 'Ghosts of My Life' on 'Goodreads'

4 étoiles

K-Punk's inimitable talent in connecting the most crucial junctions of our socio-economic being with the most acute experiences of our cultural creation and consumption is displayed in Ghosts of My Life as vividly as in Capitalist Realism, if from a different angle. It is a reminder of how much we miss his ability of capturing and raising traces of material reality on artistic work, in references to a "failure of the future" in works of music and cinema.
