Fifty Postmodern Thinkers critically examines the work of fifty of the most important theorists within the postmodern movement who have defined and shaped the field, bringing together their key ideas in an accessible format. Drawing on figures from a wide range of subject areas including literature, cultural theory, philosophy, sociology and architecture those covered include:

- Umberto Eco
- Slavoj Zizek
- Cindy Sherman
- John Cage
- Jean-Francois Lyotard
- Charles Jencks
- Jacques Derrida
