The Society of the Spectacle is a 1967 philosophical work by French theorist Guy Debord, a leading figure of the Situationist International. The book critiques consumer capitalism and modern media, arguing that social life has been replaced by representations—what Debord calls “the spectacle.” It remains a cornerstone of media theory, cultural criticism, and radical political thought.
