Reviews

"An exceptional, even visionary mind." Leonardo Digital Reviews "If Walter Benjamin had one true intellectual descendant who extended his inquiries into the second half of the twentieth century, this must be Paul Virilio." Lev Manovich, author of The Language of New Media "'Virilio is an impressive commentator on the conditioning power of the mass media. ... He flits from image to image like a poet and usually builds to a profound climax." The Guardian
