The Condition of Postmodernity (by David Harvey)

"The Condition of Postmodernity" by David Harvey explores how economic, cultural, and social changes in the late 20th century shifted society away from modern principles of steady progress and certainty. Postmodernity reflects a time characterized by rapid technological advances, global interconnectedness, and a questioning of universal truths and grand narratives. Harvey discusses how these shifts influence urban development, capitalism, and cultural expressions, highlighting a move towards diversity, fragmentation, and new forms of power and knowledge. Essentially, it analyzes how contemporary society navigates a world marked by uncertainty, fluidity, and changing perceptions of reality.
