Virilio's exploration of the relationship between technology, war and information technology
Paul Virilio trained as an artist in stained glass, working with Braque and Matisse, as well as studying philosophy at the Sorbonne. In 1975 he was made director of the Ecole spéciale d'architecture in Paris. He retired from teaching in 1998 and now works with private organizations on projects to house the homeless in Paris. He has written many books, including War and Cinema, Open Sky, and Ground Zero.
Anyone who has ever secretly wished that Foucault would get to the
point will relish the sudden hooks and jabs of revealed sense.
*New York Times*
Virilio makes his prose do somersaults through flaming conceptual
hoops, inventing new words to explain ideas that would be difficult
to reach if the trip weren't so much fun.
*Metro Santa Cruz*
One of the most original thinkers of our time.
