Stuart Jeffries (born 1962), a British journalist, columnist for The Guardian, author of several books, this time offers readers a panoramic or, rather, kaleidoscopic overview of the half-century history of postmodernism up to the present day - whether it be a cultural paradigm, a style, or a state that has confused supporters of linear historical narratives and 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 entrepreneurs, film directors, architects, musicians, and activists, representatives of all spheres of cultural (and only?) production who have contributed to the 'great erasure of boundaries' that has questioned all hierarchies (now everything instead), temporal boundaries (everything is now always), and actual boundaries (everything - everywhere). Jeffries, in turn, postmodernly questions postmodernism itself, showing that the emancipatory charge inherent in it by neoliberal capitalism did not work, but at the same time acknowledges that since we have become postmodernists, there is no turning back.
