About this book

Guy Debord argues that modern production has reorganized social life around representations, separating lived experience from the images that stand for it. His political theory treats the spectacle as a relationship between people, expressed through advertising, news and entertainment. The discussion connects this condition to the organization of production, consumption and the possibility of social change.
