How Capitalism organizes Empathy
The Psychopath Factory examines how the requirements, stimuli, and environments of work condition our empathy. Could psychopathy subvert the control regimes of late capitalism? Does it hold the potential to emancipate us from the current impasse?
What exactly are the Weird and the Eerie? In this new essay, Mark Fisher argues that some of the most haunting and anomalous fiction of the 20th Century belongs to these two modes.
