This book title, Impossible Exchange, ISBN: 9781844677917, by Jean Baudrillard, published by Verso Books (January 16, 2012) is available in paperback. This book might be said to be the exploration, first, of the ‘fateful’ consequences, and subsequently-by a poetic transference of situation-of the fortunate, happy consequences of impossible exchange. This is our fate, and from this stem both the happiest and the most baleful consequences. 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? Baudrillard’s conclusion is that the true formula of contemporary nihilism lies here: the nihilism of value itself. Politics is laden with signs and meanings, but seen from the outside it has no meaning. Literally, they have no meaning outside themselves and cannot be exchanged for anything.
Working his way through the various spheres and systems of everyday life-the political, the juridical, the economical, the aesthetic, the biological, among others-he finds that they are all characterized by the same non-equivalence, and hence the same eccentricity.
