Description/Abstract
This book was designed originally for a Chinese market to provide current critical engagements with the work of John Baudrillard from important and influential scholars working in a critical fashion with his body of work. That book was published by Henan University Press (Kaifeng, China 2008). The English-language version is longer and has some different scholars from the Chinese version. The book provides an innovative combination of critical overview as well as current extensions, challenges and engagements with the work of a significant critical theorist. Polity, a leading publisher in critical theory, liked the volume and its structure, and asked if I would edit a series for them using Baudrillard Now as a model. The series is entitled “Theory Now,” and two more volumes have appeared with another five under contract and more in development. I am the only external editor of a humanities book series at Polity.
