[.ca] Perfect Crime (ISBN 1844672034)

Baudrillard's Best Book:
Though Simulacra has acquired Baudrillard his most cultural currency, this book in fact is the most eloquent (and witty) and well argued, filled with trenchant wit and sly insights. Baudrillard is the best cultural critic to come out of France in the last century, and this book will prove to be the greatest sample of his thought. Covering topics as disparate as Andy Warhol and Yugoslavia, Baudrillard examines the implosion of reality in the contemporary global world, exploring the moral implicatioins of the age of information. Those who seek to discredit Baudrillard as a stylish postmodernist will have difficulty dismissing this eloquent and disturbing text. Very highly recommended.
