About this title: Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative as Guy Debord's "Society of the Spectacle". From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960s up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the late twentieth century. Now finally available in a superb English translation approved by the author, Debord's text remains as crucial as ever for the understanding of contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of ...

"Serious style issues here. Some keen insight into late capitalism nonetheless. Mostly gave me ideas for making t-shirts. Still trying to wrap my head around the visual, the spectacle, as the paradigm through which to analyze global capitalism."
"Goodreads doesn't allow me to enter this book multiple times, despite the existence of three different translations. I like the Donald Nicholsan-Smith translation the best, followed by Ken Knabb's work and finally the first English translation by Fredy Perlman.
