Generally I liked this book, but the chapter on postmodernism is just absurd. Webster has just misunderstood postmodernism altogether and it doesn`t get any better when he based on his prejudices ridicules and diminishes postmodernism. The older generation loves hating on postmodernism (I knew that) but this was just under the belt.
