''A remarkable (and inventive) tribute to Mark Fisher'scapacities as a thinker, writer, and, perhaps most importantly, teacher.'' -Hua Hsu''A haunting elegy to Mark’s crystalline mind.'' -Mark Stewart, The Pop Group* Egress *is the first book to consider the legacy and work of the writer, cultural critic and cult academicMark Fisher.

Narrated in orbit of his death as experienced by a community of friends and students in 2017, it analyses Fisher's philosophical trajectory, from his days as a PhD student at the University of Warwick to the development of his unfinished book on* Acid Communism *.

Taking the word ''egress'' as its starting point - a word used by Fisher in his book The Weird and the Eerie to describe an escape from present circumstances as experiences by the characters in countless examples of weird fiction - Egress considers the politics of death and community in a way that is indebted to Fisher's own forms of cultural criticism, ruminating on personal experience in the hope of making it productively impersonal.
