"Why is not everything already gone" is the last text by Jean Baudrillard, who passed away on March 6, 2007. In it, he not only revises his theory but also outlines a new theory of images and the possibility of a critical perspective on the digitization of thought. In a surprising intellectual movement, Baudrillard leads the reader through the modes of disappearance in humans and machines, the evidence of the secret survival of seemingly vanished ideologies, values, and prohibitions, to the impossibility of representing reality in the digital realm. His dream "of an image that would be the écriture automatique of the singularity of the world" cannot be realized in a world that renders itself superfluous in all areas. Ultimately, Baudrillard poses the question of where, then, the fragility and the... come from.
