I had seen it appear on this board before which got me interested. My only impression of the book came from the cover which I presume contains concepts similar to Baudrillard's, I know little about it other than the author off'ed himself, can anybody fill me up on the book as some kind of appetizer? :^l

I also want to read the book but Amazon doesn't have copies with that cover and the copies seem to be different translations, can anyone who knows better tell me what translation to get, if it matters?

just read dialectic of enlightenment, adorno has a deeper understanding of how/why kulturindustrie and class antagonism functions, debord has a fairly simple class war paradigm although he does spend more time detailing how the spectacle functions

I'm sorry, I want a physical copy I can make notes in on pencil. But if you want to share a pdf feel free.

Why is protest not even trying to be intellectual anymore?

b-but it is described as a philosophical work!

Well it is, it offers an interesting angle of looking at the world. But even if you have a good grasp of Marx, it can feel like autistic rambling.

Because intellectuals are part of the problem, at least most of them.
