As we get closer to the release of our latest book In the Delirium of the Simulation: Baudrillard Revisited, we are able to start disseminating the material, beginning with this longer excerpt from Chapter 2 (A Metabox of Terms), entitled Simulation One. We have received the test prints and the book is now fully in production, ready for release in a few weeks. So what is a simulation? and how can it be delirious?
