Baudrillard would love the version of America that Rockstar has constructed, a hyper-real theme park of violence, corruption and excitement. But you don't have to think about it. You don't have to think at all. GTA V might be about friendship or ambition or regret, but it also looks to be a game in which you can blast through the streets in a truck, boot filled with guns; a game where you can pilot a jet fighter over the Californian landscape; where you can bike down a mountain or jet ski into that fluorescent sunset.If YOU come across further examples of real-world usage of concepts we use in Media, please pass on a link/quote!

GTA5 + postmodern theory! (Baudrillard)
A little snippet from a lengthy Guardian preview of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, which just goes to show that postmodern theory is used beyond the confines of academic books and exams!
