Overview
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.

Reviews
This is an excellent companion for the initiated. There is an opportunity to read into the person who produced books like <em>Simulacra and Simulation</em> and <em>The Gulf War Did Not Take Place</em>. Smith and Clarke have produced a text that was an absolute joy to read for a Baudrillard fan, while also improving my understanding of his work and my appreciation of his abilities. --Jeff Heydon, Wilfrid Laurier University and University of Toronto, <em>Marx & Philosophy Review of Books</em>
