John Tomlinson s new book is an invitation to an adventure. It contains a precious key to unlock the doors into the unmapped and unexplored cultural and ethical condition of immediacy - Prof Dr Ulrich Beck, University of Munich Tomlinson s study is a most welcome, stimulating and challenging exploration of the cultural impact and significance of speed in advanced modern societies - David Frisby, London School of Economics and Political Science This stimulating and accessible book examines how speed emerged as a cultural issue during industrial modernity. In the 21st century immediacy , the combination of fast capitalism and the saturation of the everyday by media technologies, has emerged as the core feature of control. This coming of immediacy will inexorably change how we think about and experience media culture, consumption practices, and the core of our cultural and moral values. Incisive and richly illustrated, this eye-opening account of speed and culture provides an original, essential guide to one of the central features of contemporary culture and personal life.
