Nor can there be an index for every word in the manual. What is needed is a separate "site map" -- a hyper-manual, a kind of conceptual topology... Enter Baudrillard: Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: A hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor does it survive it. It is nevertheless the map that precedes the territory - precession of simulacra - that engenders the territory.
