Did the Gulf War take place? Is it possible to fake a bank robbery? Was sexual liberation a disaster? Jean Baudrillard has been hailed as one of France's most subtle and powerful theorists. However, his provocative style and critiques of sociology, feminism, and Marxism have led to accusations of promoting a dangerous new orthodoxy—being the 'pimp' of postmodernism. Introducing Baudrillard delves into the controversy surrounding this misunderstood intellectual to present his radical claims that reality has been replaced by a simulated world of images and events, ranging from TV news to Disneyland. It provides a clear account of Baudrillard's work on obesity, pornography, and terrorism, tracing his development from critic of mass consumption to prophet of the apocalypse. Chris Horrocks' text and Zoran Jevtic's artwork invite us to decide whether Baudrillard was a cure for the vertigo of contemporary culture or one of its symptoms.
