Since the publication of the original French edition amid the social upheavals of the 1960s up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism, and everyday life in the late 20th century. Now available in an English translation approved by the author, Debord's text remains important for the understanding of contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of our rapidly-changing image/information culture.
