Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Cool Memories II is a distillation of quintessential Baudrillard. Eros stalks entropy, America outshines Europe, and nihilism playfully evaporates. It’s a memoir situated somewhere between magical realism and science fiction whose subtle strength resides in Baudrillard’s fusion of analysis and self-reflexive meditation.”—Susan Willis, Duke University
“Sharp, sombre, brillant, explosive, these fragments rarely fail to find their targets: the basic presupposition of the superiority and triumphant progress of our technological rationality—and our ‘current forms of despair.’”—Mike Gane, Loughborough University
