Product Description

Review
"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 is the trip weren't so much fun." - Metro Santa Cruz "One of the most original thinkers of our time." - Liberation

Product Description
Virilio's exploration of the relationship between technology, speed, war and information technology weaves together a breathtaking worldview of horror, exhilaration and hope.

4.0 out of 5 stars Virilio forces you rethink the future of information society, 22 Feb 2001

By	parasiitti@iobox.com (Northern Ireland / Finland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Information Bomb (Hardcover)

I've read before Virilio's "Escape Velocity" which I think was a good but not necessary help to really get into this piece of work. Some concepts of EV were used in "Information Bomb" but I guess they can be understood quite easily anyway.

For those who don't like typical French metaphors I wouldn't recommend this book but for those like me who do these images make us think ourselves instead of reading ready-made answers.

As I am a nearly-graduated MSc in control engineering IF forces me to rethink about work I'm going to do and usefulness and motivation of research in this area. Take all the promises of information society (and tehcnical development as whole)...:
All the promises are exposed to be just over-optimistic dreams and what carries on is nothing but short memory and childish eagerness to reach for the limits of information highway.
Don't mention Lysenko and michurinism..
