About this book

Jean Baudrillard examines the relationship between reality and the signs and models used to represent it. Beginning with an image of a map and its territory, he argues that simulation can generate what people experience as real. His philosophical discussion develops the idea of the hyperreal and challenges familiar distinctions between appearances and their sources.

About the author

Jean Baudrillard - BDeBooks
Jean Baudrillard

Simulacra and Simulation argues that copies have replaced the things they once copied, and that the map now precedes the territory rather than describing it. Baudrillard taught sociology at Nanterre and wrote a short book titled The Gulf War Did Not Take Place, which is about coverage rather than a denial that people died.
