- whilst recreating an average American city in Cities: Skylines.
Book Description:
After 1989, capitalism has presented itself as the only realistic political-economic system. What effects has this "capitalist realism" had on work, culture, education, and mental health? Is it possible to imagine an alternative to capitalism that is not some throwback to discredited models of state control?
Let's not beat around the bush: Fisher's compulsively readable book is simply the best diagnosis of our predicament that we have! Through examples from daily life and popular culture, but without sacrificing theoretical stringency, he provides a ruthless portrait of our ideological misery... Capitalist realism is a sobering call for patient theoretical and political work. -Slavoj Zizek
Mark Fisher is a master cultural diagnostician, and in Capitalist Realism he surveys the symptoms of our current cultural malaise... This book offers a brilliant analysis of the pervasive cynicism in which we seem to be mired, and even holds out the prospect of an antidote. -Steven Shaviro

By Allah, it's finally here! This one took me a long, long, long time, but this book deserves the effort. May truth set you free.
One should keep in mind that while Fisher uses examples from British society extensively as he himself is British, they apply just as much if not more to American society, as American society is practically a parody of those of other industrial nations.
The goal of the Cities: Skylines playthrough was to create a typical American city: absolutely zero public transport, car culture, horrible congestion, grid cities, pollution, sterile, cultureless vistas of endlessly repeating corporate franchises, etc. In the end I ended up using green energy out of habit, and provided education, housing, jobs etc. to all my citizens and had a happy populace, so I'd say I failed miserably in my goal.
Until next time.
"the slaves that do not see their chains think they are free, and the house slaves kept separate from the field slaves can be convinced they are not slaves; there is no free man in babylon, but they have made the plantations seem inviting, and mankind has forgotten that true free will is God's gift"

The audible one is Russell brand so thank god you made this :)
I’m out of the loop what did he do
@@radiostaticangelHes a right wing populist grifter now and pretty sure has hella rape allegations against him very Hollywood douche vibes
If you'd asked me to guess what game someone would record gameplay of as a background to a narration of Capitalist Realism, I would absolutely say "Cities: Skylines."
10/10, thank you for making this!
He quote about Cobain is soul crushing, like a prison of terror in the mind
Marx listed several forms of "alienation of labor". I laughed when the media started talking about "quite quitting".
Came here after returning the official release because I couldn’t take Russel Brand’s narration seriously. Thanks man!
A BOOK AND A GAMEPLAY????????? MY AUDHD IS HAPPY
Thanks a bunch for reading this, as well as having such a soothing voice! A lot of audiobooks for leftist stuff has awful tts and this is so much better.
Thank you for your kind words! The awful TTS was a partial inspiration for why I started doing this.
@@hablini are you planning on reading more books like this on your channel? Or doing more cities skylines timelapses like the one in this? Because either way I would love to watch it. This vid is great.
@@duatia5315 in the future, yes.
Why is this so true. Much of the left seems to be cursed with nasally and sickly voices
true dat
Poor mr fisher, i can see why he ended it all. One cannot escape this “capitalism”
I feel like I'm going to need to listen to this a couple more times to understand it, but thanks for making it a good time
It definitely rewards repeat visits and heavy reflection
Thanks for the positive feedback 🙂
dude this is crazy soothing, as someone who struggles to read more than a page a day this helps a lot haha
Thank you, glad I could help!
00:48 this hits different after 2017
I appreciate this so much 🖤 thanks for taking the time to read this.
I have a piece of feedback about accessibility / intelligibility: The background noise (fire cracking? Storm sounds?) is quite distracting and makes it hard for me to focus and process your words correctly
This video is old so maybe you've already made these changes in other videos. Regardless, thanks again :)
We need more of this comrade. I love this so much
Awesome, incredibly relaxing way to spend the time and listen to the rain
Tysm for making this available to a wider audience in good quality! You have a very nice reading voice, I'm enjoying this very much.
Thank you! And thanks to the parametric equalizer for making my voice sound way better than real life :)
This is really great, and highly appreciated! Love the sound of rain in the background too. Thankyou for taking the time to record this
Wow, I'm happy I found this channel!! What a great way to read!
Thank you for the kind words! However, I've pretty much quit video games entirely, they're surrogate activities which give a false sense of accomplishment, although I still love the games that are works of art, with a good narrative and writing.
Holy shit your format is awesome i know your view count is low but making audio books with a gameplay visual and asmr background noise is almost revolutionary and I would be my last dime itd pay off in the long run.
Thanks for your support Will! I like this format because it gives some 'purpose' to playing the game 😄
Thanks for this, it's a great reading.
Would be awesome to post timestamp for chapters, I find myself trying to relisted to specific sections so much.
Check the description
You're the man
الله يبارك فيكي، شكرا على القراءة :)
You are a great reader & thanks for putting this up!
fantastic reading. thanks for this!!!! great book.
Thank you so much for uploading this, fantastic content
Thank you for your kind words 😊
Thanks for this! My library doesn't stock it.
Thanks for doing this! I also like that the background isn’t static. I found myself really watching you playing the game while I was listening and it’s extremely relaxing 💕
Fishers quote, “The comfort of the matrix”, comes to mind. Comfort for our eyes, comfort from boredom. Not that I found this book boring, quite the opposite. Yet here we are, this is how our brains work under late stage capitalism.
You keep using present tense, but didn't Mark Fisher die in 2017?
RIP
Thank you for this, RIP Mark you were a gift to humanity
This is fantastic brain food! Thank you anyone want to meet at a pub and discuss this!?
RIP Mark Fisher. You are missed
Thanks a lot, excellent reading ofyours. I love it..
great video concept here, nice one
my ADHD was nagging all along about that curved neighborhood, but seriously tho, thanks for the reading. much appreciated
Awesome, thanks!
Thank you for supplying this. It's an absolutely wonderful book and read very well
Thank you for the compliment Chris 🙂
love this so much
Incredible❤️
Thank you thank you thank you!
Excellent
This is very epic
Finally had the time to appreciate this. I wouldn't be able to hear the Russell Brand (+ british accent) version.
How do you record these? Do you narrate on first read and do several takes for each paragraph, something like that?
I'm reading it for the first time as I narrate. It all started as a way to force myself to read, because reading silently I would lose train of thought every other sentence. I just read normally and go over it after to edit it all the mistakes. Very tedious work, so I'm going to stick to shorter pieces in the future. Thank you for listening!
Tysm
He has such a way with words, they are all simple to understand, but the facts are all there. And they hit so hard.
Thank you for the suberb and calming tts!
52:45 Thank you Mark Fisher for calling me out
Thanks for the visuals lol, trying to learn while my attention span is still fucked by short form content
Relatable
Very relatable
Thank you for reading this! I can't listen to the official audible version because it's read by Russell Brand.
Thanks for listening!
This is really, really good content. I can't focus on reading but I can focus on this.
Same, can't focus well when reading quietly, so I decided to read outloud instead. Thanks for the positive feedback 🙂
This would be better without the fake rain/thunderstorm background noises.
I have to agree. I put the background noise in there to mask the background noise of my microphone. This was before I figured out what a noise gate was. I apologize to all the viewers who don't like it.
@@hablini I appreciate the work you did to make this regardless!
My brain thanks you
Thank you for reading this !! This is such a great format for this kind of content, super great job w the steady vocal intonation and stresses, very impressive that its a first read through thats incredible.
Thank you!
thank you so much for this, you are epic.
And you are epic for listening!

The biographical information is way out of date. Mark Fisher committed suicide on January 13th, 2017. But we would do well to read his book, as well as to listen to it. The book is something you can hold in your hands, read or read as a whole, or by sentence and phrase. Taking time to think about it, and consider its implications is crucial.

I'll put it on the list. At my current rate I'll get to it around 2123 😅

I'm happy this exists but I gotta ask - the loud taps and clicks that sound like a keyboard but don't seem to match up with anything happening on screen; are you burning one the most crackly firewood in the world?
It’s firewood
Ah, so this is where the museum activists got their inspo. 8:16

Are you saying UK unions (there is no solidarity with Palestinians anywhere in the US) which have stood for the rights of the Palestinians should abandon it? What is to be gained by such an inhuman act?
