<human>:  Why did Jean-Francois Lyotard write the book ‘The Postmodern Condition’?
<bot>: Lyotard wrote The Postmodern Condition to explain what the postmodern condition is. The postmodern condition is the period of time when we have moved past modernity, and entered a new era of globalization, where technology has advanced so rapidly that it is impossible to imagine life without it. The postmodern condition is a time of rapid change and uncertainty, where we are constantly being confronted with new ideas and concepts, and where the old ideas and concepts of the past no longer apply.
