We're living in the ruins of the present: the Backrooms, Fisher, Heidegger, and the fear that we arrived after the end
Tony Soprano once lamented that he "came in at the end" -- that the best was over before he arrived. Twenty years later, an empty yellow room became the way a whole generation understood that same fear. This essay argues, through Mark Fisher and Heidegger, that the Backrooms isn't nostalgia: it's the fear that we're living in the ruins of the present.
