  • The apocalypse is finished, today it is the precession of the neutral, of forms of the neutral and of indifference.all that remains, is the fascination for desertlike and indifferent forms, for the very operation of the system that annihilates us. Now, fascination (in contrast to seduction, which was attached to appearances, and to dialectical reason, which was attached to meaning) is a nihilistic passion par excellence, it is the passion proper to the mode of disappearance. We are fascinated by all forms of disappearance, of our disappearance. Melancholic and fascinated, such is our general situation in an era of involuntary transparency.

          - Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation, "On Nihilism", trans. 1995
