i just found out about this and while i am not exactly broken up by the news (as i didn't know him personally) i nonetheless find it a bit sad and so have no particular reaction yet. something will come, no doubt, and i'll post it.
in the meantime:
has baudrillard's work been a particular influence on anyone here?
how?
