Postmodernity, a term used to describe this evolving state of society, addresses the transformation of modernity through new technologies and consumerism. These changes, while rooted in modern contexts, now impact everyday social life, altering the structure of modernity itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book presents postmodernity as a societal transformation, not necessarily a departure from modernity, but as an evolving phase of it. Lyon argues that the term \"postmodernity\" best captures the social shifts we experience today, distinguishing it from other concepts like “high” or “late” modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text explores the theoretical underpinnings of postmodernity, focusing on social trends, historical roots, and cultural dimensions. It also examines the views of key theorists and provides an updated perspective on the effects of globalization, cyberspace, cyborgs, and moral conflicts in the modern world.\u003c\/p\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 of sociology at Queen’s University, Ontario.
