Save it to my shelf

A short essay by Mark Fisher that starts from an idea credited to Fredric Jameson: picturing the end of the world now comes more easily than picturing the end of capitalism. Fisher looks at how, since 1989, capitalism has presented itself as the only possible system, something the 2008 crisis reinforced, and traces that resignation through politics, work, education, film (Children of Men, Jason Bourne) and literature (Kafka, Le Guin).
