In 'Ground Zero', Paul Virilio examines the consequences of 9/11 and its impact on society, technology, and civilization. He analyzes how terrorism and attacks transform our perception of the world and our relationship with space and time. Virilio offers a profound reflection on the political and philosophical challenges posed by the post-9/11 era.
Paul Virilio was a French cultural theorist, urbanist, architect and aesthetic philosopher. He is best known for his writings about technology as it has developed in relation to speed and power, with diverse references to architecture, the arts, the city and the military. Virilio was a prolific creator of neologisms, most notably his concept of "dromology", the all-around, pervasive inscription of speed in every aspect of life.
