We’re extremely excited to announce the first-ever digital version of the most popular Introducing title ever – Postmodernism, by Richard Appignanesi and Chris Garratt with Ziauddin Sardar and Patrick Curry.

When the book was first published in mid-nineties Postmodernism seemed to be at its height, lending a thrilling – if regularly perplexing – new vantage point to not just philosophy and art but to fin-de-siecle phenomena such as world music, ‘Holocaust tourism’, terrorism, Disneyland, the Cold War and much more besides.

In 2011 postmodernism could perhaps be considered as much a thing of the past as modernism, romanticism or Marxism – indeed, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London currently has an exhibition devoted to the subject.

But Introducing Postmodernism – which with its cut-up, non-linear way of exploring its subject is itself something of a postmodernist artefact – remains one of the classic explanatory texts and is loved by readers of the book edition throughout the world. Now you can enjoy the same book the 21st century way on your iPhone, iPad or Android device – just click here for more.
