RIP Baudrillard

Jean Baudrillard died yesterday in Paris at the age of 77. The best obituary for him is in French, naturally, in Le Monde, but the New York Times, London Times and the Guardian Unlimited are all good too, as is this editorial commentary on his life and work.

It makes today's reading of The System of Objects surreal, sad and significant.
