5.0 out of 5 stars
Dystopia USA
Incomprehensible to most Americans, this expressionist poem explains why terrorism is the new world order; a brilliant analysis of the superpower syndrome, dirge for the global glutton. An apt companion work is Emmanuel Todd's L'Apres Empire, translation due February 2004.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Cashing In on 9/11
A sloppily argued, near-incomprehensible exercise in nostalgia, nihilism, and name-dropping. This book has almost no explicit connection to the events of 9/11 or the titular "Ground Zero." Virilio may be right about the dangers of modernity, but his argument is superficial. Be sure to read translator Chris Turner's footnotes.
