Baudrillard-Simulacra and Simulation

Summary

In Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, he argues that our society has progressed to a point where simulations have become indiscernible from what they are simulating, because they have ceased to actually be tied to anything real. That is, we have transitioned from living in a reality interspersed with approximate simulations to the “hyperreal”, “without origin or reality”.
