Description

First published in 1962, this splendidly provocative book introduced the notion of “pseudo-events”—events such as press conferences and presidential debates, that are manufactured solely in an effort to be reported—and the recent definition of celebrity as “an individual who is understood for his well-knownness.” Since then Daniel J. Boorstin’s prophetic vision of an The usa inundated by its own illusions has change into an crucial resource for any reader who wants to differentiate the manifold deceptions of our culture from its few enduring truths.
