It builds upon and transcends modernism and postmodernism, focusing on the digital age's reshaping of traditional concepts of space, time, and existence. Key figures include Don DeLillo and Donna Haraway, whose works embody hypermodernist themes of technology's omnipresence and the fusion of human and machine.
