Rewrite the following text as if it were not about Jean Baudrillard, but about Karl Popper. Write it in an academic style, as if it were a review of a translation of Karl Popper's work:

Jean Baudrillard is considered one of the founders of the philosophy of
postmodernism. The main themes of the philosopher's research were the
relationship between reality and its symbolic representation, as well as the
mechanisms of consumption as a sign system of modern society. 

Baudrillard introduced the concept of "hyper-reality" — гипер-реальность as a development of the Marxist concept of "superstructure" and proclaimed "the end of ideology". According to this concept, the basis of hyperreality is "simulation". Units of hyper-reality are "simulacra" — симулякры —
signs or non-self-configuous phenomena that refer to something else, and
therefore simulated.
Simulacres et Simulation (Simulacra and Simulations — Симулякры и
симуляция) is a philosophical treatise by Baudrillard, written in 1981. In
this treatise, Baudrillard explores the relationship between reality, symbols
and society, summarizing his previous theoretical developments. It is the
most complete and accessible book of its kind, from which you can begin to
immerse yourself in the world of modern philosophy. The author gives the
most detailed definitions of such concepts as "hyper-reality" and "simulacra", which have long been in mass use. This work has helped many people
around the world to look at our reality from a fundamentally different perspective, from the point of view of its fictitious, fake, "copy of the copy", illusory substance, and inspired filmmakers to create a cult film "Matrix", where
it is not only quoted, but also flickers in the frame. "Simulacrum" is not
something that hides.
According to O.A. Pechenkina, the translator of Baudrillard's «Simulacra
and Simulations», Jean Baudrillard starts operating in the late 70s. It was
during this period that the postmodernist stage of his work opens. However,
his early works prepared the transition to postmodernist positions with lots
of respect. They were devoted to "a kind of sociological psychoanalysis of
the world of things and consumer society, not alien to semiology, structuralism and neo-Marxism (a great influence on Baudrillard was the views of
F. de Saussure, R. Bart, G. Marcuse, H. Lefevbre).
While translating the term simulacrum into Russian — симулякр,
O.A. Pechenkina used a transliteration strategy, not forgetting, however, to
apply the tactics of a translation comment. Following O.A. Pechenkina, we
consider the following interpretation of the term "Simulacrum is an imitation of non-existent." To simulate means to pretend that you have something
that does not really exist. In a postmodern situation where reality becomes a
model, the opposition between reality and signs is erased and everything
becomes a simulacrum. In a total simulation space, there are no more
boundaries between real and imaginary, and reality now becomes hyperrealistic, characterized by the dominance of totally scattered simulators,
model precession, and the replacement of real with real signs.
It is believed that unlimited semiosis of simulacres in hyper-reality of the
postmodern era is doomed to acquire the status of the only and selfsufficient reality. Baudrillard emphasized the special significance of the logic
of symbolic exchange, as its violation contributes to the "abstract rationalization" of objects and their transformation into a commodity or sign. This process means a systematic reduction, reducing the qualitative diversity of objects of exchange to a single form of value, combining consumer, exchange
and sign forms and converting the objects themselves into goods.
Baudrillard points out that the information space is overloaded with
postmodern chimeras, myths and simulacra: "The chimeric dimension is a 

serious alternative to your real inner mentality. In postmodern-era simulacra
"are produced with an archaic mythological consciousness that has a symbolic function" (Baudrillard, 2013, p. 3).
Simulacrum is more often used as a metaphor for the semantic emptiness (in this sense, the term is used in our study). Myths, both as archetypical texts and as simulacra, are the two extremes of metalanguage mythological structuring.
As a result of continuous exploitation of the code language as a social
control tool by the end of C 20th, signs are finally detached from their referees and receive full autonomy of signals — simulacra reproducing and
translating meanings that are inadequate to events and facts that cannot be
unequivocally evaluated. Baudrillard has developed the doctrine of three
orders of simulators: copies, functional analogues and the simulators themselves. He included all modern phenomena, including money, public opinion and fashion, into the third order of simulacra.
