Description
A provocative examination of how signs, images, and representations increasingly shape—and sometimes replace—our experience of reality. The book explores the rise of simulation and hyperreality across media, politics, consumer culture, and everyday life, challenging the assumption that images merely reflect an underlying truth. Through incisive, often unsettling cultural analysis, it questions what remains real when representations become more influential than the worlds they claim to depict. A foundational work of postmodern thought, it remains essential reading for anyone interested in media, technology, culture, and the nature of reality.
