What does /lit/ think of Simulacra and Simulation?

I would like to reread it someday. It seemed ridiculous to me the first time I read it, but I thought For a Critique of the Political Economy of Signs had some interesting observations, so maybe it would make more sense now.

I've been willing to read this. Quite a convenient thread. Will be watching it.

it's legit.

I like baudrillard's comments concerning Francis Coppola. I found JB's "America" better "read" strictly speaking.

Bottom line:
if you want that graduate student pussy, you're going to have to read some heavy baudrillard.

you could also save yourself the effort and just talk about how bad the academic market is and how the US doesnt give a shit about education or the humanities.

quickest way to make a grad student feel vulnerable and in need of luvin. i know it would work on me if some chick did that to me.
