In his 1989 book, Fast Capitalism, Ben Agger presented a framework
for understanding late-20th century social problems. Speeding Up
Fast Capitalism, a sequel to his earlier book, assesses social
changes since the end of the 1980s brought about by information
technologies such as the Internet, which have quickened the pace of
everyday life. In Speeding Up Fast Capitalism, Agger assesses the
impact of the Internet on consciousness, communication, culture and
community, and evaluates the prospects of democratic social change.
Where the earlier book was largely theoretical, Speeding Up applies
critical theory to specific topics such as Internet culture, work,
families, childhood, schooling, food, the body, and fitness.
Although indebted to Fast Capitalism, the sequel appeals to an
audience wider than theorists, including empirical sociologists,
social scientists, and scholars in cultural disciplines.
