Post-modernity is the creative destruction that has shattered our present times into fragments. It dynamited modernism, which had dominated the Western world for most of the 20th century. Post-modernism stood for everything modernism rejected: fun, exuberance, irresponsibility. But beneath its glitzy surface, post-modernism had a dirty secret: It was the fig leaf for a rapacious new kind of capitalism. It was also the forcing ground of the "post-truth", by means of which Western values got turned upside down.
But where do these ideas come from and how have they impacted on the world? In his brilliant history of a dangerous idea, Stuart Jeffries tells a narrative that starts in the early 1970s and continues to today.
He tells this history through a riotous gallery that includes David Bowie, the iPod, Fredric Jameson, the demolition of Pruitt-Igoe, Madonna, post-Fordism, Jeff Koon's "Rabbit", Deleuze and Guattari, the Nixon shock, the Bowery series, Judith Butler, and more.
We are today scarcely capable of conceiving politics as a communal activity because we have become habituated to being consumers rather than citizens. Can we do anything other than suffer from buyer's remorse?
