"The three stars is more for me than Baudrillard. More academic than I am generally accustomed to reading over Labor Day weekend. I wish I understood some of the concepts that were above my head more and better understood some of the low-hanging fruit. Still, an easier read than I was led to believe, and the concepts of reality are very thoughtful. Useful to read for writers of any kind -- fiction, non-fiction, etc. Now to dig up "On Exactitude in Science" by Borges."
"I guess I'd just have to say "Huh?" Was there something here I just didn't get or was it really just a bunch of rambling, pretentious, gibberish...?!"
"I read parts of this for a class. I liked the concept and it makes you think about how we perceive the world. I can see how The Matrix took ideas from this."
