Synopsis
′If you′ve ever felt like we′re going nowhere fast, and you′d like to know why - preferably sometime before you die - read this book′ - James Der Derian, Brown University and UMASS/Amherst
Examining how the ′here and now′ of space, territory, the body, are being redefined by new technologies and how this undoes simplistic versions of the globalization thesis, Paul Virilio demonstrates how technology has made inertia the defining condition of modernity.
An instantaneous present has replaced space and the sovereignty of territory; everything happens without the need to go anywhere.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A critical inquiry into the relations of space, time and technology. Paul Virilio shows how technology has made inertia the defining condition of modernity. He argues that the real time of "action at a distance" through telecommunication has replaced the real space of immediate action. Everything now happens without the need to go anywhere. This redefinition seeks to undo simplistic versions of the globalisation thesis. The author's relentless, sceptical gaze focuses on space, territory, and the body and considers Venetian gondolas, NASA technology, the Lumiere cinema and particle accelerators. Paul Virilio demonstrates how technology has made inertia the defining condition of modernity. An instantaneous present has replaced space and the sovereignty of territory - everything happens without the need to go anywhere.
