The book explores public aquariums and zoological parks through the lens of semiotics and Baudrillard's simulation theories, arguing that modernist zoos are the only viable forms in a postmodern context. It suggests that these institutions have become anachronistic, as they struggle to adapt and compete with modern entertainment, reducing captive animal displays to mere passive spectacles for viewers. The analysis highlights the cultural implications of how society engages with these representations of wildlife.
