Jeremy Johnson

“IN THE GENERATIONAL GAP between the mid-century, when Gebser was writing, and the twenty-first century, we have had the advent of Marshall McLuhan’s electronic culture, the rise and fall of television, the birth of the internet (which, too, has moved from the utopian WELL (Whole Earth ‘Lectronic Link) to the panopticon capitalism of Mark Zuckerburg’s Facebook), and the post 9/11 world. Neo-liberalism, late capitalism, and the devastation wrought by changing climate mark the undoing of a mode of consciousness and collective action that has already long outlived itself.”
