Speed and Politics (first published in France in 1977) is the matrix of Virilio's entire work. Building on the works of Morand, Marinetti, and McLuhan, Virilio presents a vision more radically political than that of any of his French contemporaries: speed as the engine of destruction. Speed and Politics presents a topological account of the entire history of humanity, honing in on the technological advances made possible through the militarization of society. Paralleling Heidegger's account of technology, Virilio's vision sees speed--not class or wealth--as the primary force shaping civilization. In this "technical vitalism," multiple projectiles--inert fortresses and bunkers, the "metabolic bodies" of soldiers, transport vessels, and now information and computer technology--are launched in a permanent assault on the world and on human nature. Written at a lightning-fast pace, Virilio's landmark book is a split-second, overwhelming look at how humanity's motivity has shaped the way we function today, and what might come of it.

評分傳說中的韋西柳,這個標題似乎是(戰爭的兩麵:)速度與政治。dromology,dromocratic,也有點把所有東西重定通項的毛病

評分這本書是Virilio的早期著作,很多後期看得莫名其妙的東西這裏都有解釋。比如對logistics的關注其實就是冷戰陰影下發射核武器的速度決定瞭戰爭中的生死,然後溯源到瞭古代戰場上的移動決定勝負的觀念,不隻是拿破侖的思想被反復引用,剋勞德維茨、孫子等軍事理論傢都被引用。速度纔是維利裏奧的重心,後期開始以這個為起點生發到瞭媒介和電影領域,其實軍事纔是最根本的內容。本書生詞好多,就內容來說,建議直接讀最後一章。
