since you mention Mark Fisher, is it perhaps worth recalling his 
reworking of /hauntology/, itself haunted by Derrida's /Spectres/ (and 
that quite funny play on '/auntology' /which in English looks like it 
ought to be opposed to an '/oncology/'), worth recalling that for Fisher 
it means being haunted by futures which will not be and are not to come?

Phantom touch: is it that isolation amplifies the experience of 
others--against whom we are already significantly insulated by technical 
means--as amputated? Society something of a dead limb or a dying or 
dangerously infected one finally lopped off?

Best,

Simon
