...What if you’re arguing with your biologist boyfriend, and you tell him, “Wait a minute. I think we’re trapped in an oppressive discourse”—and he has no idea that you’re talking about Foucault? Or what if your mathematician boyfriend slips his arm around your shoulders and says, “Hey, I think we need to reduce your genus by one?” Do you laugh, or do you dump him?

A fierce critic of consumerism, he touted the notion of "hyperreality"--the unreal experiencing of events not through one's senses but through the media. His theories drew a cultlike fan base, which included the creators of The Matrix films, but he was best known for sparking furors with his provocative, if not entirely serious, commentary--most famously his 1991 remark that the much covered first Gulf War "did not take place...
