The Illusion of the End Baudrillard JeanPaperback
The year 2000, the end of the millennium: is this anything other than a mirage, the illusion of an end, like so many other imaginary endpoints which have littered the path of history? Today we are not approaching the end of history but moving into reverse, into a process of systematic obliteration. In this remarkable book Jean Baurdrillard--France's leading theorist of postmodernity--argues that the notion of the end is part of the fantasy of a linear history.
In short, we are engaged in a gigantic process of historical revisionism, and we seem in a hurry to finish it before the end of the century, secretly hoping perhaps to be able to begin again from scratch. We are wiping out the entire twentieth century, effacing all signs of the cold War one by one, perhaps even the signs of the First and Second World Wars and of the political and ideological revolutions of our time.
