Stuart Jeffries (b. 1962), British publicist, columnist for the Guardian, and author of several books, this time offers readers a panoramic or rather kaleidoscopic overview of half a century of postmodernism - whether a cultural paradigm, a style, or a... state that has confused the cards for adherents of linear historical narratives and seemingly mixed everything and everyone: high and low, old and new, truth and fiction, art and pop culture, etc. Among the heroes of the book are philosophers, politicians, artists, startup founders, filmmakers, architects, musicians, and activists, representatives from all spheres of cultural (and not only?) production who have contributed to the "great erasure of boundaries," which has called into question all hierarchies (instead there is now - everything), temporal borders (everything is now always), and actual boundaries (everything - everywhere). Jeffries, in turn, postmodernistically questions postmodernism itself, showing that the emancipatory charge embedded in it by neoliberal capitalism did not work, but at the same time acknowledges that since we have become postmodernists, there is no way back.
