Product Description
Spans everything from Fukuyama to Larry Flynt, all seen through the optic of Virilio's trenchant and committed theoretical position. After the era of the atomic bomb, Virilio posits an era of genetic and information bombs which replace the apocalyptic bang of nuclear death with the wimper of a subliminally reinforced eugenics.
