Baudrillard himself noted that many read his writing on the 'three orders' of the image with excessive seriousness. In the [[postface]] of his ''Forget Foucault'' (Original: ''Oublier Foucault''), Baudrillard's interviewer [[Sylvère Lotringer]] suggested that Baudrillard's approach to "The Order of the simulacra" was "pretty close" to that of [[Michel Foucault]] who "wrote the archaeology of things", to which Baudrillard replied: 
{{blockquote|You're talking about the three orders? I could have made a book out of it, others rushed in to find examples. As for myself, without denying it, I don't believe it holds up. For a time I believed in Foucauldian genealogy, but the order of simulation is [[Antinomy|antinomical]] to genealogy.<ref>{{cite interview
