Additional text

'For the past decade, Kellner and Best have been our guides to postmodernity. Now they turn their attention to the new century; its challenges and prospects for radical democracy. Their combination of clear prose, insightful analysis, and theoretical mastery is as imposing as it is welcome. Bravo!' - Toby Miller, New York University, USA'This is an exceptional and absolutely essential book for anyone concerned with the interface of science, technology, the new electronic media, and the promise of cultural studies. It is a 'must read' for teachers, students and others seeking to critically engage the complexity of a world that demands a new vocabulary, cultural pedagogy, and politics.' - Henry Giroux, Penn State University, USA
