This groundbreaking new book presents a biting meditation on techno-scientific progress at all costs and without restraint.
This books considers progress in light of our modern fears and anxieties, as well as the potential manmade catastrophes which threaten the modern world
Lucid and brilliantly argued, this book confronts a highly topical subject from an original and contemporary position.
Virilio urges us to face up to the consequences of our brave-new-world technologies, calling for the creation of a Museum of the Accident to help create a preventive intelligence that would help us deal with both natural and artificial disasters.
