---

Virilio and the Media by John Armitage is a book that introduces Paul Virilio's important thinking on contemporary media culture. Through his works such as The Aesthetics of Disappearance, War and Cinema, and The Vision Machine, Virilio has changed the way we understand the relationship between perception, logistics, cities, and new media technologies. Armitage provides a theoretical context for Virilio's media-related ideas, including concepts such as “polar inertia,” “accident,” and “landscape of events.”

The book presents a discussion of the instrumental imagery of television and media events, as well as their impact on a society experiencing panic. By explaining the significant influence of Virilio's media texts, Armitage makes the writings more accessible to readers, allowing them to critically evaluate Virilio's ideas. At the end of the book, there is a guide to further reading and a non-technical glossary of Virilio's key concepts, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in modern media culture. This book not only explains Virilio's thought, but also shows its relevance in our understanding of media and technology today.
