what is the best way to approach it? it seems really interesting but I got confused pretty quick reading it. tried to get quick grasp on it with videos but most were shit. I think there was a same-titled movie as well?? if so, is it any good?

I hope that this is the right community to ask this question

If you can find a copy of the film, watch it after reading the book. The film shows you visually what the text attempts to capture in writing. Once you understand the whole concept, you’ll no doubt start asking yourself questions like, “what exactly am I doing on the Internet?” Life now is pretty much being spectator and spectated at the same time, now, which the good ol’ Guy probably foresaw, given the nice interaction between the book and the film.

duly noted, thank you! I’ll check out the Situationist writings Nagarjuna pointed out, then the book and lastly the film.

I kind of feel like I’ve been asking that question myself for a long time now, hopefully I can go deeper with it actually get some answers from myself lol
