In this edition, postmodernity is seen as the social condition of the 21st century, in which some features of the modern world are called into question, and undermined by novel trends. Postmodernity is a way of describing a new society in-the-making, without supposing that modernity has been left behind. Postmodernity is explored as a theoretical concept in order to uncover and illuminate central social trends of the time. Its historical roots and cultural dimensions are examined, as are the ideas of its leading theorists. This version gives more attention to the processes of globalization as well as to the postmodern view of cyberspace, cyborgs and the body as a site of moral conflict.
