Reviews

This is an excellent companion for the initiated. There is an opportunity to read into the person who produced books like Simulacra and Simulation and The Gulf War Did Not Take Place. Smith and Clarke have produced a text that was an absolute joy to read for a Baudrillard fan, while also improving my understanding of his work and my appreciation of his abilities.--Jeff Heydon, Wilfrid Laurier University and University of Toronto "Marx & Philosophy Review of Books"
