The Postmodern Condition

About “The Postmodern Condition”

The Postmodern Condition is a 1979 non-fiction work by Jean-Francois Lyotard. Extending analyses of postmodernism as the aftermath of the modern industrial age, Lyotard examines the status of science, technology, and the arts, the significance of technocracy, and how the flow of information and knowledge is controlled in the Western world, emphasizing language and framing postmodern knowledge as a game of ever-changing social linkages.
