The Ecstasy of Communication cover

The Ecstasy of Communication

by Jean Baudrillard

"Post-situationist theory from Baudrillard. Here he wrings ecstasy from interaction. 'Obscenity begins when there is no more spectacle, no more illusions, when everything becomes immediately transparent, visible, exposed in the raw and inexorable light of information and communication. We no longer partake in the drama of alienation, but are in the ecstasy of communication.'"--PUBLISHER.
