Much more Marxist than I thought it would be, I expected more simulacra-style postmodernism. (  ) phette23 | Oct 19, 2009 |  I enjoyed the first three sections. After that it gets pretty dry.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0942299795, Paperback)Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative as Guy Debord's The Society of the Spectacle. From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960s up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism and everyday life in the late twentieth cenlury. Now finally available in a superb English translation approved by the author, Debord's text remains as crucial as ever for understanding the contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of our rapidly changing image/information culture.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:52 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
