Documentaries. Culture. Crimes/rights. Capitalism. Youtube videos. The Political Notebook. 5 Sites That Will Boost Your Political Awareness. It's election time again, and there's no shortage of spin and distortion about candidates and issues. Fortunately, we have some very good political Web sites to help us make well-reasoned choices at the ballot box. And that's just the start: Some of our other favorite sites use the latest Web tools to bring a new transparency to governments, special interests, and campaigns--year round.

The first version of this translation of The Society of the Spectacle was completed and posted online at my “Bureau of Public Secrets” website in 2002. The first print version was published by Rebel Press (London) in 2004 and several other editions were subsequently published in various print and digital formats.

Although I will continue to tweak the online version as further improvements occur to me, this new printed edition is probably pretty close to final. There have been several previous English translations of Debord’s book. I have gone through them all and have retained whatever seemed already to be adequate. In particular, I have adopted quite a few of Donald Nicholson-Smith’s renderings, though I have diverged from him in many other cases. Many people have told me that they became discouraged by the opening pages of the book and gave up. The book is not, however, as difficult or abstract as it is reputed to be. Child Labour.
