Introduction

This third volume of The Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism results from the deliberations that took place during two different symposiums. Firstly, Mark Fisher and myself collaborated at the Department of Visual Culture, Goldsmiths College, with a conference entitled The Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism Part Three: The Cognitive Turn. The second was an event in March 2015 that I organized in conjunction with the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles entitled Noise and the Possibility of a Future. This book fortuitously combines elements of both programs for reasons that will unfold.
