Description

We are living under the administration of fear: fear has become an environment, an everyday landscape. Wars, famines, and epidemics are no longer localized and limited. Instead, the world itself is limited, as well as saturated, and manipulated through globalized stock-market crises, undifferentiated terrorism, lightning pandemics, leading to a climate of fear.

Paul Virilio examines the “propaganda of progress,” the illuminism of new technologies, provide unexpected vectors for fear in the way that they manufacture frenzy and stupor. For Virilio, the economic catastrophe of 2007 was not the death knell of capitalism, as some have claimed, but just further evidence that capitalism has accelerated into turbo-capitalism, and is accelerating still.
