Product Description

The 21st Century observed by the renowned New Statesman columnist; Through a collection of humorous but challenging essays, grounded in personal experience, observation and anecdote, Ziauddin Sardar analyses the key characteristics of the embryonic twenty-first century. From advertising to zapping, sex to shopping, toys to hype, The A-Z of Postmodern Life explores the ideas, products, artefacts and 'isms' that shape the undefined, but ever encompassing, global culture. By learning to read the message of postmodernism, the author suggests that we might discover whether this new century is heading off in the right direction or leading us all up a very dark alley.
