Apparently it just says that because it isn't out yet.

He had a massive ruck with poetix over multiple platforms, including this one. Bottles flying, bar stools, punches, everything. It was great.

He pops up from time to time, but just looks at this thread then logs out.

Poetix is going to put his book through that AI and do a spiteful rewrite.

Unfinished business. It ended in a mutually exhausted stalemate here, if I remember.

This book looks like another step in the process of turning Mark Fisher into Ian Curtis.

That's definitely the commercial strategy.

Is that better or worse than turning him into David Foster Wallace?

Part of the reason Mark is interesting is that he's one of the first internet writers whose best work is underwritten, rushed, part of a wider conversation

it's not a body of work that can be forced into a book. It's out there, on the blogs and message boards. That's where it belongs.

I don’t know. I get what you mean by how it’s framed but I think there was a noticeable change in trajectory toward the psychedelic that a lot of people were intrigued by so why not

a real “collected” K-Punk volume would include all of his posts on Dissensus

its interesting to think about in terms of Great Men and how their work comes about. You'll have more and more writers whose work is primarily online and embedded in conversation and can't be readily extracted from those conversations.

And you'll have fewer and fewer definitive statements and summations

Are you mad? All the great writers of our time are being published by Faber & Faber!
