USA

◎Newly revised translation◎12 American illustrations added◎An authoritative text for understanding American culture◎A thinker's travelogue of AmericaAs a thinker and master of postmodernism, Baudrillard did not understand the conceptual America from literary materials. He spent his time in America's deserts, mountains, highways, Los Angeles, Safeway supermarkets, and depressed towns, rather than in university lecture halls.
America is a cultural critique of the United States from the perspective of old Europe. Baudrillard expresses his astonishing reflections on the ubiquitous smiles on American faces, as well as the prevalence of elections, jogging, breakdancing, graffiti, and marathons. In Baudrillard's eyes, desert culture is the most important characteristic of American culture; the vast, pure, and untamed desert serves as the backdrop for American cities. America is neither a dream nor reality; it is a hyperreality.
