He is fast, fearless, and unafraid of those other P and M words: politics and morality./This phosphorescently intelligent guide for the concerned and the confused will appeal to anyone trying to make sense of this strange new century./The 21st Century observed by the renowned New Statesman columnist. From advertising to zapping, sex to shopping, toys to hype, The A-Z of Postmodern Life explores the ideas, products, artefacts and isms that shape the undefined, but ever encompassing, global culture.
