This book is interesting but I did not enjoy the act of reading it. Jameson is not a charismatic professor and I feel that he forgets that his voice is not audible through the page as he writes, that these sentences would be easier to digest if they were being spoken to you. Instead, Jameson’s style is very verbose and dense, it’s difficult to follow and difficult to read, with a modicum of clarity that more so seems to mystify the reader into agreeing with him than actually convinces.
It was interesting to see how his points have evolved into current media. Despite being a postmodernist and this book being relatively recent, I found some of his observations to be a bit outdated for the contemporary. I’d love to see an evolution of Jamesonian theory applied to the internet for example.
