Does postmodernism still have anything important to say? Pragmatism, Technology, and the Persistence of the Postmodern argues yes to both. Despite the claims of a number of scholars that postmodern is over and done with, Andrew Wells Garnar demonstrates its continued relevance by carefully examining the use of information and communication technologies.
