eBooks
Dear Reader,
My collection of eBooks has grown to well over 1000 titles. Most of the books deal with Philosophy, Sociology and Cybernetics. The collection contains such myriad of subjects that Ive begun using the Dewey Decimal system to organize. I plan to create a searchable database of titles using the Greenstone Platform. To inquire about the availability of a text or to contribute an electronic book to the collection please contact me arion @ funkshun.us
An informal file list can be found here it may be updated sporadically.

JeanBaudrillard – Simulacra and Simulation
Simulacra and Simulations (Simulacres et Simulation in French) is a philosophical treatise by Jean Baudrillard that discusses the interaction between reality, symbols and society.
The book’s main statement about the nature of cinema is summarized in the statement, “The dominant, all-powerful factor of the film image is rhythm, expressing the course of time within the frame.” Tarkovsky describes his own distaste for the growing popularity of rapid-cut editing and other devices that he believes to be contrary to the true artistic nature of the cinema.
The book also contains a fair amount of Tarkovsky’s personal writings on his life and work, with commentary on each of his 7 major feature films, and his complex relationship with the Soviet Union. The final chapter, a discussion of his film The Sacrifice, was dictated in the last weeks of his life.
