YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This video series will present a careful reading of two of Baudrillard’s early books: The Consumer Society and The Mirror of production. We’ll consider both the philosophical and political influences that shaped Baudrillard’s thought while situating his work in relationship to the uprisings of May, 1968.

Zero Books Manifesto:

The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
