The uncertainty of the world lies in the fact that it has no equivalent anywhere; it cannot be exchanged for anything. The uncertainty of thought lies in the fact that it cannot be exchanged either for truth or for reality.Jean Baudrillards now familiar investigations into reality and hyperreality shift here into a more metaphysical frame. Working his way through the various spheres and systems of everyday lifethe political, the juridical, the economical, the aesthetic, the biological, among othershe finds that they are all characterized by the same nonequivalence, and hence the same eccentricity. Literally, they have no meaning outside themselves and cannot be exchanged for anything. Politics is laden with signs and meanings, but seen from the outside it has no meaning. Schemes for genetic experimentation and investigation are becoming infinitely ramified, and the more ramified they become the more the crucial question is left unanswered: who rules over life, who rules over death?Baudrillards conclusion is that the true formula of contemporary nihilism lies here: the nihilism of value itself. This is our fate, and from this stem both the happiest and the most baleful consequences. This book might be said to be the exploration, first, of the fateful consequences, and subsequentlyby a poetic transference of situationof the fortunate, happy consequences of impossible exchange.
