Overview: What do TikTok, Taco Bell, pro sports, and Netflix have in common? They are all spectacular experiences, beyond anything we could get in nature. And they are sucking us in. Daniel Boorstin, Jean Baudrillard, Guy Debord, and Neil Postman all wrote about how the changing technologies of this world are altering our relationships with each other and our understanding of reality. Synthesizing and updating these ideas, this book takes you beyond spectacle and hyperreality into a world where social relations are mediated by an interactive simulation: They Hyperspectacle.
