He had already stated in the aforementioned tome, by way of paraphrasing, that it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. The year was 2017 and he hung himself, as is the male signature. And, after exploring the many facets of a term he defines as “the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it,” Fisher punched his own ticket early. A question he asked in the title of his seminal work, Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? It would appear not. Sure, he was “depressed.” But why do you think a mind like that would be?

Gibbons says at the beginning of the novel that it is set in the ‘near future’ though this only seems to manifest itself in television-phones and the preponderance of private aeroplanes.
