    Thanks. I think this was a theme in Adam Curtis’s Century of Self, although it’s not very explicit.

      Marx and Durkheim have laid the groundwork for psychological transformations under liberal society.

      Postmodernist authors have tried to address the issues more comprehensively, to varying degrees of coherence and reliability.

      The Spectacle of the Situationists, and capitalist realism of Mark Fisher, interrogate the extreme alienation of postmodernity.

        One day I’ll read Capitalist Realism, I promise. I’ve watched some of his lectures. Sometimes I understand him, other times I feel lost.
