The book argues that the rise of postmodernity, driven by new technologies and consumerism, reshapes social life, transforming modernity itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLyon examines postmodernity not as a complete departure from modernity but as a transformation of it. While some refer to these changes as \"high\" or \"late\" modernity, Lyon contends that the term \"postmodernity\" best captures the present state of societal shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis revised edition includes a closer look at globalization and how postmodernity interacts with concepts like cyberspace, cyborgs, and the body as a site of moral conflict. Lyon’s work delves deeply into the historical roots of postmodernity, its cultural dimensions, and the ideas of key theorists who have shaped the concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey topics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe historical development of postmodernity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModernity’s discontents and the rise of postindustrialism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe impact of consumerism and its influence on future trends\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relationship between postmodernity, globalization, and cyberspace\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: Screen Replicants and Social Realities\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePostmodernity: The History of an Idea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModernity and its Discontents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Postindustrialism to Postmodernity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConsumerism and Beyond: The Shape (lessness) of Things to Come\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePostmodernity, Fin de Millénaire and the Future\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Lyon is a professor in the Department of Sociology at Queen’s University, Ontario.
