This monumental and expansive work comes from Achim Szepanski - arguably the most deeply versed scholar of Baudrillard, Deleuze, and Laruelle in the German-speaking world. Szepanski, founder of Mille Plateaux, Force Inc Music Works, and NON, dedicates this volume to Jean Baudrillard, whom he describes as “the most radical and advanced Stimmung in philosophy.” Through a comprehensive and incisive engagement with Baudrillard’s thought, Szepanski offers a compelling articulation of his own philosophical project. Alongside his magnum opus 'Die Ekstase der Spekulation', this book - In the Delirium of the Simulation - lays the foundation for what may be regarded, especially after his passing, as Szepanskism or Szepanskian Economics. Spanning finance, non-philosophy, and radical experimental music, Szepanski stands as a singular and anomalous figure in contemporary theory - an audacious thinker with a formidable intellectual legacy.
