The Society of the Spectacle is a groundbreaking work in political and cultural theory, authored by Guy Debord. Since its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960s, its provocative theses have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the late twentieth century.

Debord's text remains crucial for understanding the contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of our rapidly changing image/information culture. This superb English translation is finally available, approved by the author himself.
