Synopsis
Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative as Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle". From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960s up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the late twentieth century. Now finally available in a superb English translation approved by the author, Debord's text remains as crucial as ever for the understanding of contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of our rapidly changing image/information culture.

Industry Reviews
"A remarkably prescient manifesto....this is the original source document of the hyperrealists such as Baudrillard, the political critics of media such as Chomsky, and the media activists such as the Immediasts."
