内容简介

The author introduces the seminal concept of "pseudo-events"--such as press conferences and presidential debates, which are staged solely for publicity--and redefines celebrity as "a person who is known for his well-knownness." The result is an essential resource that distinguishes the deceptions of our culture from its few enduring truths.

    An extremely perceptive book about the world we are currently faced with. A very suitable follow-up to read after Amusing Ourselves to Death - which will give you more in-depth elaboration on why the media around us and our ways of thinking is getting more and more superficial. 06-09

    上个世纪末的书依旧是当下的问题。如果说事件理论告诉我们如何解决问题,我们真正需要警惕的是伪事件的存在。在某种程度上,这是鲍德里亚的另一番论述,图像和虚拟在取代理念和实在。伪事件具有一种廉价的烂俗,它的触手可及是一种懒惰的惯性。我们爱上了这种超真实的感觉,以至于我们的后现代的存在从未发生过。08-06
