He was violently curious, too, to see Manfred’s reaction to the place, and to its simulacra, the teaching machines.
Außerdem war er furchtbar neugierig, wie Manfred wohl auf den Ort reagierte, auf die Simulakra, die Lehrmaschinen.
It’s a progression akin to what postmodern philosopher Jean Baudrillard called the “precession of the simulacra.” There is the real world, then there are the metaphors and maps we use to represent that world, and then there is yet another level of activity that can occur on those maps—utterly disconnected from the original. This happens because we have grown to treat the maps and symbols we have created as if they were the underlying reality.
Die Abfolge erinnert ein wenig an Jean Baudrillards Vorstellung einer »Präzession der Simulakra«: Erst gibt es nur die reale Welt, dann Metaphern und Landkarten, die diese Welt repräsentieren, und auf der nächsten Abstraktionsebene werden diese Karten ganz ohne Rückbezug zum Original weiterverwendet.
