Christopher Horrocks "Introducing Baudrillard" (Icon Books)





This is a fun, if not entirely effective, approach to Baudrillard. The comic book style approach suits its subject in a way that I don't think it would for other thinkers and concepts within the "Introducing..." series. It's a shame that the text can't live up to the artistic vision and humor of the book. If you haven't read Baudrillard before, you're likely to be completely lost. If you've had a smattering of Baudrillard, you're going to be mostly lost. And if you've read the majority of Baudrillard, you know that getting to know him is hopeless anyway. Have fun with this book, but don't make it your first or last foray into the thinker that postmodernism loves to hate (and vice versa).
