The Illusion of the End cover

In this book Jean Baudrillard, one of the most celebrated and controversial contemporary social theorists, argues that the notion of the end of history is an illusion, and that we are now engaged in a gigantic process of historical revisionism.

'In the book Baudrillard weaves his argument as brilliantly as one has come to expect.... Baudrillard provides a voluble account of the withering of history, which is not lost in Turner's translation.' Environment and Planning

'The Illusion of the End is quite wonderful. In its relatively few pages, this book contains more insights and provocations than many much weightier tomes.... If you are prepared to let your sociological imagination be engaged, enraged and perhaps even changed, then The Illusion of the End more than repays the time that is spent with it.' Sociology
