- This collected volume contains essays written over ten years (2003-2013) on the namesake website K-Punk. As well as making the case for hauntology as a prism for understanding popular culture, this collection argues that we are haunted by futures that have failed to happen. These lost futures are painstakingly researched in traces left behind in the work of David Peace, Stanley Kubrick, John Le Carré, Christopher Nolan, Joy Division, Burial and many others. In researching this archive, the essays also provide novel interpretations of key arguments by authors such as Derrida, Deleuze, Badiou, Žižek, and Lacan.
