Here's an essay in french written by Anselm Jappe comparing the two.

>La virtualité est autre chose que le spectacle, qui laissait encore place à une conscience critique et à une démystification. L’abstraction du “spectacle”, y compris chez les Situationnistes, n’était jamais sans appel. Tandis que la réalisation inconditionnelle, elle, est sans appel.

En fait, nous sommes au-delà de toute désaliénation[7]
[7]J. Baudrillard, Le Crime parfait
