Simulacra and Simulation | Jean Baudrillard + Sheila Faria Glaser

Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation is a groundbreaking work of postmodern philosophy that explores how our modern world has become filled with copies that have no original source. Baudrillard argues that we now live in a "hyperreality" where fake or simulated experiences have replaced what is real and authentic. Moving away from traditional ideas about economics and psychology, he develops a new theory about how culture works in our time. This influential book examines how media, technology, and consumer culture have completely changed our relationship to truth and reality. It remains an essential work that continues to shape how we think about media, philosophy, and culture today.
