Why read it?
1 author picked The Condition of Postmodernity as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A sweeping study and critique of modern culture! If you are looking for a comprehensive and passionate analysis of time and space in the “late capitalist era,” this is the one to read. Nobody has written more authoritatively on modern and post-modern “time-space compression” (you have to read the book to see what this means). Harvey’s intellectual breadth and depth are astonishing. No wonder he is one of the most cited scholars of our time.
From Sonia's list on time, space, and modern urbanism.
