She use famous phrase from Baudrillard's work - the drastic these treats about apocalyptic vision of society. Baudrillard thinks, that in every little physical and intellectual space has became social sphere. Today we can talk about end of her limit. Everything, what was society stand without own name. Now, there is only namelessness, called mass. The Author has noticed, that public life was quiet phenomenon. At that time, society work as community, which couldn't cover up their individuality. In the modern culture it is impossible to find individual place for self, also every institution are overcrowded.
