The fictionaliztion of the contemporary experience of reality as seen in the works of Marc Auge is examined. By presenting fictions that draw so heavily on preexisting typologies, even caricatures (the tourist, the commuter, the lonely internet surfer etc.), Auge unwittingly reproduces the key characteristic of contemporary culture as he defines it - the recycling of received images rather than the creation of new ones-- becoming the anthropologist of supermodernity in a sense that he would hardly wish.
