November, 1999 "Already, one would say that human cloning is on its way to becoming for a part of the contemporary public, an operation as simple as having one's portrait taken by a photographer in the previous century." - Paul Virilio Paul Virilio's "The Information Bomb" is a timely exploration of some of the key issues in technology and contemporary society: the atomic bomb, genetics and the computer. He is one of the few thinkers to be able to connect the evolution of various major fields to each other and to delineate their present and potential social impact. While the book was published a year ago in France, it is only coming out in English in March 2000. Pre-order it now, reminding yourself that the book, and book production, is still refreshingly slow!
