Jean Baudrillard, 1995, 124 pp.

This is the latest book by one of the most celebrated thinkers of contemporary society and culture. The book contains 21 essays, previously published in various forms and in various journals or newspapers, in which Jean Baudrillard argues that the "reality" as we thought we knew it has been killed (and this killing of reality is the ultimate "perfect crime"), that we all live in the world of simulacra and artificiality, dominated by the symbols that we have created throughout the human history, from the Tower of Babel to Andy Warhol and contemporary feminist theories. Only people aware of this radical break can understand the world that they (and we) all live in, the world deprived of Otherness and governed by illusions.
