by Giorgio Agamben
|
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
For more than fifty years Virilio has offered incisive and provocative criticism on technology and its moral, political, and cultural implications. The Paul Virilio Reader collects for the first time English extracts reflecting the entire range of Virilio's diverse career. The book's introduction demonstrates that Virilio has produced an important -- if controversial -- "theory at the speed of light" that uncannily illuminates the impact of new information and communications technologies in a world that collapses time and distance as never before.
About the Author

Steve Redhead has been professor of law and popular culture in England and visiting professor in communications and cultural studies in Canada and Australia. He has published a dozen books including Paul Virilio: Theorist for an Accelerated Culture.
