This chapter broadens the application of simulation to a larger environment and discusses the relationship between the law and crime, demands and production, the game of power… In my opinion, Baudrillard is a Nihilist. He believes everything is hyperreal and simulation. The hyperreal system conceals that there is nothing beneath. People working in a factoryContinueContinue reading “Simulations 4 and little update”

It is hardly able to find out. They are packaged perfectly by companies and polished by the media. Perhaps they are theContinueContinue reading “Simulations 1”
