I highly recommend Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death”. It’s a much more accessible and quite frankly more entertaining (amusing?) than Baudrillard’s work. It was written in the early 80’s but is so relevant it could have been published two weeks ago.
- qubex 9y ago+1 to this. I read Amusing Ourselves To Death in 1999 and it changed the manner I view the world, and have been recommending it ever since.
- AlexAffe 9y ago+1 for Postman. Is Simulacra adding something, or is it really basically the same message?
- qubex 9y agoIt adds something, but the massage must be extracted from reams of throughly baffling postmodern critical theory.
