Summary/Abstract: What Anna Kornbluh achieves in her volume, Immediacy or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism, is to provide a comprehensive panoramic view of a segment that lies at the heart of today’s apocalyptic ethos: the cultural and socio-economic lack of mediation. Adopting a historicising perspective on the contemporary logic of capitalism — thereby following Fredric Jameson’s methodology to some extent — the author argues that our era can be encapsulated under the concept of “too late capitalism.”
