Description:
Here is Jean Baudrillard at his most seductive - accessible, playful and sophisticated. And always controversial - whether speaking of AIDS, Wall Street crashes, computer viruses or Michael Jackson. Here, too, is Baudrillard at the dead centre of his own commotion, where he is surrounded by the works of over two dozen writers whom he has challenged. Jean Baudrillard is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Nanterre, France. 'Just as the world drives to a delirious state of things, we must drive (slowly) to a delirious point of view.' - Jean Baudrillard
