In Immediacy: Or, The Style of Too Late Capitalism, author and literary scholar Anna Kornbluh critiques the effects of instantaneity on a late-stage capitalist environment. By identifying immediacy in a multitude of consumable media—such as photography, TV, novels, and constructive theory—Kornbluh "makes sense of what we lose when the contradictions of twenty-first-century capitalism demand that aesthetics negate mediation," says the back-cover synopsis.
