Rezensionen

"Virilio's breakneck pattern-recognition method is apt to spark newthoughts in some readers' heads."

Steven Poole, The Guardian

Paul Virilio is one of the most original and provocativethinkers of the contemporary era. In The Original Accident Viriliocontinues his investigations of how the intensification oftechnological development and speed could provide the "accident ofaccidents", the catastrophic collapse of the global economy."

Douglas Kellner, University of California, LosAngeles
