Product Description:

If I hadn't already taken a look at nihilism and sociology years before, this book might've been too much of a read for me. I agree with all of what was covered.

If you are not an avid reader, enjoy abstract thinking, or want to learn more about the differences between Simulacrum and Simulations avoid this book.
This is still a great read although convoluted at times so all others should enjoy. But those who are not well read have been warned.
