We're just passing full bloom postmodernism I think. The flowers are wilting, we're trying to find nature again... it's impressive that Jameson was writing these observations when late capitalism was just starting to show its budding colors. He also looks pretty good in this introduction for being vocally skeptical of the whole "end of history" thing... the mention of Walter Benjamin predicting some kind of fascist rise of a culture obsessed with aesthetics is also pretty amazing. I'll have to read more about that. Jameson claims by the time he's writing this (mid 1990) that Benjamin's worries were unfounded and it's all just a bit of "fun" actually mirrors the fake news "just kidding" fascist culture of today... maybe Benjamin got it exactly right.
