Well, the death of Baudrillard recently barely rated a mention in the English press, such is this country's disdain for 'post-structuralist' French philosophers. However I am a big fan, and Prospect magazine has an article about his legacy which you can read here.
Long live French philosophy I say, the UK marketized system of education is certainly not going to produce such innovative thinkers. I hope that while we are busying ourselves at university trying to make money, the French will continue to feel that ideas such as Baudrillard's have merit!
