From the sierras of New Mexico to the streets of New York and LA by night-‘a sort of luminous, geometric, incandescent immensity’-Baudrillard mixes aper�us and observations with a wicked sense of fun to provide a unique insight into the country that dominates our world. In this new edition, leading cultural critic and novelist Geoff Dyer offers a thoughtful and perceptive take on the continued resonance of Baudrillard’s
America.
