Simulacra and Simulations

Lyn was reading Baudrillard soon after I met her. I knew that some day I would have to tackle his work.

I was led to this by Howard Rheingold's observation:

...unless we know, and know soon, whether or not the web as it is developing can revitalize the public sphere, all other philosophical conversations may be mooted by the rise of disinfotainment, disinformocracy, and the actual emergence of the simulation that we don’t recognize as a simulation described by Baudrillard.
