    This document provides an outline and analysis of the critical essay "The Precession of Simulacra" by Jean Baudrillard. It summarizes the key points and thesis of the essay. The thesis is that simulation threatens the difference between true and false, real and imaginary. Some of the supporting points discussed include how images can disguise or mask the existence of an underlying reality, and how Disneyland presents an imaginary world to convince people the outside real world is real when it has become hyperreal.
