Book Overview

An introduction to the main themes and arguments of the French cultural theorist, Paul Virilio. John Armitage and Mike Featherstone explain the context of Virilio's work, which includes cyberspace and virtual reality. They position his work within the broader context of French approaches to poststructuralism and postmodernism to which he has contributed. Organized historically to reflect Virilio's own biographical, intellectual and cultural development, the book is centred around the following themes: architecture; speed and politics; war; the human body and technology; and the automation of perception.
