{"product_id":"desert-screen-paul-virilio-9780826479341","title":"Desert Screen: War at the Speed of Light","description":"Desert Screen is a vision of future war, in which Paul Virilio identifies the Gulf War as a turning-point in history, the last industrial and the first information war. Virilio argues that we live in a world of global sptio-temporal collapse, a world still exhausted from the geopolitics of the Cold War, a world in which the politics of military and media technology seem to preclude the possibility of negotiation and diplomacy. Virilio's original and far-reaching analysis is vital for an understanding of the current Middle East crisis. Paul Virilio (1932-) is Director of the Ecole Speciale d'Architecture in Paris and author of over 15 books including Art and Fear, Negative Horizon, War and Cinema and Open Sky.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Virilio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826479340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826479341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.56w x 0.51d","brand":"Paul Virilio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926595698943,"sku":"9780826479341","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8e16defe-ae65-4aad-bb57-69e4f4013785.jpg?v=1681083957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/desert-screen-paul-virilio-9780826479341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
