A strongly positive review of Mark Fisher's Realismo capitalista highlights his cultural-theory reading of late capitalism, mental-health consequences, and co-option of counterculture. The review praises Fisher's accessible style, cinematic metaphors, and diagnosis of neoliberal inertia after the 2008 crisis. It notes the book's diagnostic power but questions the absence of a concrete programmatic solution.
