ENDORSEMENTS “Living in the Simulacra will be indispensable for teaching and research on digital culture, visual politics, and media theory, and for anyone trying to understand why the line between the ‘real' and its simulations now feels so precariously thin.” —Hudson Moura, Editor-in-Chief and Chair, Interactive Film & Media Journal and IFM Conference ""Delightfully brilliant, the authors challenge us to embrace ‘life in the simulacra,' to probe the impact of simulated living, and to cultivate ways for wisely navigating the scary yet transformative, transcendent power of 'the work of media in the age of pure simulacra.’” —Julianne H. Newton, author of The Burden of Visual Truth and coauthor of Visual Communication “An incisive and daring exploration of our hyperreal age, Living in the Simulacra brilliantly illuminates how digital media reshapes truth, identity, and reality itself. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand (and survive) today’s post-truth world.” —Stefano Odorico, Co-convenor of the Polyphonic Documentary Project
