Self-described "intellectual terrorist" Jean Baudrillard is one of the most important and provocative writers of the contemporary era. Widely acclaimed as the prophet to postmodernity, he has famously announced the disappearance of the subject, political economy, meaning, truth, the social, and the real in contemporary social formations.

Reviews
"This work includes an introduction by Kellner and fourteen chapters whose authors creatively deal with many of the contributions, complexities and controversies surrounding one of the most troubling and delightful philosophers of our time. The introduction by Douglas Kellner is a brief, yet insightful preface to the volume. As Kellner effectively began in his earlier works, this new contribution to the growing literature on Baudrillard continues to pave a critical path." Scott Lukas, Perspectives on Postmodernity
