PAUL VIRILIO is one of our foremost cultural critics. Architect and urban planner and former director of the Ecole Speciale d'Architecture in Paris, he has written widely on film, architecture, war and technology.

“It is no accident that when Virilio's dromology (the study of speed) crashes head-long into semiology (the study of signs) the order of things starts to look precarious. Over a diverse career as professor of architecture, film critic, urbanist, military historian, and peace strategist, Virilio has interrogated the integral relationships of security and territory, war and cinema, speed and politics, technology and culture, and left no prisoners.” ―James Der Derian, author of Virtuous War: Mapping the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network
“If Walter Benjamin had one true intellectual descendant who extended his inquiries into the second half of the twentieth century, this must be Paul Virilio.” ―Lev Manovich, author of The Language of New Media
“One of the most verbally exuberant of modern philosophers” ―The Guardian
“a refreshing antidote to the 'global village' mantra of Net gurus Virilio writes in the subversive tradition of Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard” ―Publishers Weekly
“Essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of America's out-of-control war of prevention.” ―The Guardian
“One of the most original thinkers of our time.” ―Liberation
“Virilio writes on the edge of physics, philosophy, politics and urbanism” ―New Statesman
“Paul Virilio is the emblematic French theorist of technology” ―C-theory
“Virilio is an impressive commentator on the conditioning power of the mass media. .... He flits from image to image like a poet and usually builds to a profound climax.” ―Saturday Guardian
