Description

Book Synopsis
Paul Virilio identifies the Gulf War as a turning point in history, the last industrial and the first information war. Virilio then goes on to argue that we live in a world of global spatio-temporal collapse, and one which seems to preclude the possibility of negotiation and diplomacy.

Trade Review
"'one of the most original thinkers of our time'. Liberation; 'Virilio writes on the edge of physics, philosophy, politics and urbanism'. New Statesman"
