As I have written I am gradually translating Guy Debord's _Society of the Spectacle_, from its French 3rd edition into English. It's taking a long time because my French is out of use.
Society of the Spectacle (index)
What's clear from this enforced close reading is that Debord's text is really an exercise in fun contradictions and paradoxes as much as it is about analysing the world of power and images---it's playful far more than it is philosophically serious. That's not the worst thing in the world I think.
