Speed And Politics by Paul Virilio
Essai d'une physique de la politique
A study of how the increasing velocity of transport, communications and military technologies restructures power and social life, arguing that speed—what the author calls dromology—has become the primary determinant of political authority, strategy and modern conflict; faster systems compress space and time, produce new forms of control and accidents, and thus transform institutions, perception and the nature of war.
