Jean Baudrillard, RIP

Jean Baudrillard, postmodern French philosopher and cultural theorist died on March 6th 2007. Baudrillard is the reason for Not Shocking's existence as documented in post number 1 (which handled Baudrillard's take on 9/11). Yes, it was Jean Baudrillard who penned simulacra and simulation. If you recall The Matrix, neo keeps his pirated disks in his Simulacra and Simulation book.

and so do i.
