Casting a wide net - beginning with a radical rereading of the felt human needs fulfilled by philosophical indeterminist and pluralist thinking, and tracking similar impulses through the media and literature, leisure cultures, domestic, commercial, industrial, architectural and urban design and fashion, the arts, tourism, pop and rock music, drug culture and the cultures of cyberspace, virtual reality, cyberorganics and cyberwar, genetic engineering and the proliferation of new modes of birth and death - it seeks to catch the sound of the postmodern phenomenon in its greater clamour.
Can the postmodern decide things? Can it oppose abuses of fantasy and power, and resist the attractions of violence? Who stands to gain from postmodernity? Cristopher Nash sets out these questions and more, taking the view that the entire body of writing on postmodernity needs to be reread. Casting a wide net beginning with a radical reading of the felt human needs fulfilled by philosophical indeterminist and pluralist thinking, and tracking similar impulses through the media, literature, fashion, the arts and architecture, tourism, dance and rock, drug culture, the cultures of cyberspace, virtual reality and cyberorganics, and the proliferation of new modes of birth, lifestyle and death, it catches the sound of the postmodern phenomenon in its greater clamor.
