Immediacy supervenes on postmodernism’s capitalist dynamics compounded by millennium economics

Evidence

What makes those values distinct? Immediacy, or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism grapples with how the present diverges from the past: something is different, even though much is also the same. … It’s still capitalism after all these years. Only now, the economic dynamics of the 1970s that were first registered in postmodernism have been compounded by those of the turn of the millennium (audited below in “Circulation”), and they modulate themselves in today’s cultural aesthetics differently. “Too Late Capitalism” titles that difference: a contradictory moment where the overmuchness of lateness arrests itself. Future-eclipsed, present-immanentized, “Step on it!” immediacy. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 31
