20:24Now PlayingBefore he left us Mark Fisher was working on a book on Acid Communism. This video explores whether this notion might provide the left with a new, more imaginative, understanding of politics.

Douglas Lain and MK Hobson (author of The Native Star) are featured in this video.

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
