Is it possible that various disciplines, theorists and cultural commentators have been hurtling down a blind alley in the last thirty years, searching for the holy grail of the postmodern? What if, after all, we have never have been postmodern? Or what if we are, instead, now living ‘after postmodernity’? As global culture rushes off the cliff of catastrophe with its neo-liberal, neo-conservative ideologies mangled in the process, this book provides theory at the speed of light designed to capture the fast flickering images of the real, gone before you can blink in today’s accelerated culture.

Review

In marrying a clear conceptual critique of postmodernism to the analysis of a rich diversity of popular cultural phenomena the book presents a unique framework from which to make sense of our ‘accelerated culture’ in the 21st Century.
