review 1: I could've done without the "the wired society is killing us, get off my lawn" vibe of the chapter on young people and depression -- fisher basically needs to not talk about hip-hop ever, my god, that was cringeworthy. but overall it was good: succinct, super readable, thought-provoking, helpful in organising my thought around a lot of other stuff, and convincing w/r/t its key thesis (though I retain significant reservations about the specifics of fisher's revolutionary program). thanks, max!
review 2: I read this one in spurts and didn't get a good idea of how the book reads as a whole. But I liked each portion I read, and am definitely interested in going back through it again. Fisher presents a lot of examples that, while unfamiliar because I'm not familia... morer with a lot of Britain's bureaucracy, support his points well enough. His central thesis is that there is probably an alternative to contemporary neoliberal capitalism, but that our ability to consider an alternative is curtailed by the history-muddying effects of neoliberalism. less
