Disturbing and vivid meditations on the meanings of objects and sensations
Features postmodernity's quintessential theorist with his meditations on the meanings of objects.This third book in the Cool Memories series is culled from Baudrillard's notebooks in the period when he was composing The Illusion of the End and The Perfect Crime. In it, he resumes his investigation of the meta-metaphysics of objects. Like its predecessors, the book is a work of brief meditations, of poetic musings: in a word, of fragments.
