Mark Fisher (11 July 1968 – 13 January 2017), known for his blog called K-Punk, was a British writer, critic, cultural theorist, philosopher and teacher based in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London.
He initially achieved acclaim for his blogging as k-punk in the early 2000s, and was known for his writing on radical politics, music, and popular culture. Fisher published several books, including the unexpected success Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative? (2009), and contributed to publications such as The Wire, Fact, New Statesman and Sight & Sound.
He was also the co-founder of Zero Books, and later Repeater Books.
He died by suicide in January 2017, shortly before the publication of The Weird and the Eerie (2017).
