description: Edited with an introduction by Matt Colquhoun this idiosyncratic collection of lecture notes and transcriptions reveals acclaimed writer and blogger Mark Fisher in his element  the classroom  sketching the outlines of a project that Fishers death left so bittersweetly unfinished.Beginning with that most fundamental of questions  Do we really want what we say we want?  Fisher explores the relationship between desire and capitalism and wonders what new forms of desire we might still excavate from the past present and future. From the emergence and failure of the counterculture in the 1970s to the continued development of his left-accelerationist line of thinking this volume charts a tragically interrupted course for thinking about the raising of a new kind of consciousness and the cultural and political implications of doing so.For Fisher this process of consciousness raising was always fundamentally psychedelic  just not in the way that we might think
