Negative Horizon is Paul Virilio''s most original and unified exploration of the key themes and ideas running through his philosophy. Provocative and forceful, it sets out Virilio''s theory of dromoscopy: a means of apprehending speed and its pivotal - and potentially destructive - role in contemporary global society.
