Studiocomix Classics Collection – The Society of the Spectacle

A book that defies easy categorization, Guy Debord’s The Society of the Spectacle examines the development of a modern society where reality has been replaced with mere representation. The degradation of human life, the triumph of mass media and the universal acceptance of commodity fetishism are all carefully examined. Debord’s text remains as crucial as ever for understanding the contemporary effects and power of the market, which is increasingly inseparable from the new virtual world of our rapidly changing information culture.
