Postmodernisation, or The Informatisation of Production – Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (2000)

Postmodernism is not something we can settle once and for all and then use with a clear conscience. The concept, if there’s one, has to come at the end, and not at the beginning, of our discussions of it. Fredric

The Philosophical Importance of Mathematical Logic – Bertrand Russell (1911)

Society of the Spectacle – Guy Debord (1967)

Chapter 1 “Separation Perfected” But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence… illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is

The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception – Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer (1944)
