It’s that time again: Riley sat down with a book, and now you have to hear him talk about it for an hour or so. This month, Riley read K-Punk, out now on Repeater Books. K-Punk collects the previously unpublished writing of British left cultural, political, and social critic Mark Fisher, who explored realism and imagination, future and memory, and the freedom to imagine better worlds.

I'm left wondering where hipsterism fits into the nostalgia-hauntology frame? I have a suspicion that there is something worthwhile there - wanting to live in the past when a future was still possible, rather than the "ghost of the future" that we find ourselves in now.

Also, if you're taking "Commie Book Club" requests, will you tackle Zuboff's "Surveillance Capitalism?" Seems like Byung-Chul Han for a broad readership.... It's hung on to #2 in Amazon's bizarre category of "Free Enterprise (Books)" since its release in January

It doesn't end abruptly! I've just listened again and found the 'I'm going to dinner' part. Well ... I absolutely love this. Thank you 💜X🐱🌌
