Description

Paul Virilio and Sylvère Lotringer revisit their prescient exploration of the invisible war waged by technology against humanity since World War II. In this new edition, they consider how the omnipresent threat of technological accidents has escalated in a rapidly changing global landscape. The authors examine the impact of globalization on our world, arguing that it is the planet's ultimate accident. They also explore how the speed of communication has increased exponentially, leading to local events escalating into global ones instantaneously. First published twenty-five years ago, this updated edition reflects the authors' continued concern about the consequences of technological advancements and the blurring of boundaries between war and peace.
