Society of the Spectacle

This post explores Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle, a 1967 work of critical theory that examines how modern life is increasingly mediated by images and appearances. It introduces Debord and the concept of the spectacle, reflects on its philosophical implications, and connects these ideas to technology and security; asking how much of what we see in digital culture, surveillance, and cybersecurity is reality, and how much is spectacle.
