Simulacra and simulation
Book • 1994
In this 1981 philosophical treatise, Jean Baudrillard explores the relationships between reality, symbols, and society.
He introduces the concept of simulacra, which are copies without an original, and discusses how these simulacra and simulations have replaced all reality and meaning with symbols and signs.
Baudrillard argues that current society is saturated with these constructs, leading to a phenomenon he calls the 'precession of simulacra,' where the simulated copy supersedes the original object and meaning becomes infinitely mutable.
