Description
Speed and Politics by Paul Virilio presents a radical vision of how speed has shaped civilization. Building on the works of key thinkers such as Morand, Marinetti, and McLuhan, Virilio argues that speed is not just an economic or social phenomenon, but a primary force shaping our world. In this groundbreaking book, Virilio explores the technological advances made possible through militarization, arguing that multiple projectiles - from inert fortresses to information technology - are launched in a permanent assault on the world and human nature. Written at a fast pace, Speed and Politics offers an overwhelming look at how humanity's motivity has shaped our functioning today. This new edition of Virilio's landmark work provides a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the impact of speed on modern society.
