Speed and Freedom

"The blindness of the speed of means of communicating destruction is not a liberation from geographical servitude, but the extermination of space as the field of freedom of political action. We only need refer to the necessary controls and constraints on the railway, airway or highway infrastructures to see the fatal impulse: the more speed increases, the faster freedom decreases"

Paul Virilio, "Speed and Politics: An Essay on Dromology", 1986
