A chance encounter with Richard Smith at the British Library alerted me to this new collection: Jean Baudrillard: From Hyperreality to Disappearance: Uncollected Interviews – edited by Richard G. Smith and David B. Clarke.

This new collection gathers 23 highly insightful yet previously difficult-to-find interviews with Baudrillard, ranging over topics as diverse as art, war, technology, globalisation, terrorism and the fate of humanity.

From familiar themes to the less well understood aspects of his thought, these interviews give you an overview of Baudrillard’s ideas – without the jargon typical of written texts. Read as Baudrillard himself discusses, explains and elaborates on his ideas, making this collection essential for understanding many of his other works.
