About the Book
Paul Virilio is a challenging and original thinker whose work on technology, state power and war is increasingly relevant today.

- speed
- virtualization
- war
- politics
- art.
As technological and scientific innovations continue to set the agenda for the present and future development of culture, communications, international economy, military intervention and diverse forms of political organization, Virilio's unique theoretical and critical insights are of enormous value and importance for anyone wishing to understand the nature of modern culture and society.
