Official synopsis Publisher
Here as Virilio states, “all one can do is guess.” But Virilio’s position is not one of pure guessery. His extrapolationist position against his delirium state, has the architecture of a 23rd century scientist: three parts – fractal geometry, two parts – theory of general relativity, one part – Philip K. Dick. One must step back and stare down the medusa of progress with a mirror. This is Virilio’s call for a grey ecology.
