Mark Fisher
“Do we really have more substance than the ghosts we endlessly applaud?”
― Mark Fisher, Ghosts of My Life: Writings on Depression, Hauntology and Lost Futures

Mark Fisher
“What haunts the digital cul-de-sacs of the twenty-first century is not so much the past as all the lost futures that the twentieth century taught us to anticipate ... [T]he disappearance of the future meant the deterioration of a whole mode of social imagination: the capacity to conceive of a world radically different from the one in which we currently live.”
― Mark Fisher
