I pursue through my research on speed and on my study of the organisation of the revolution of the means of transportation.

We are entering a world where there won't be one but two realities, just like we have two eyes or hear bass and treble tones, just like we now have stereoscopy and stereophony: there will be two realities: the actual, and the virtual. Thus there is no simulation, but substitution. Reality has become symmetrical. The splitting of reality in two parts is a considerable event which goes far beyond simulation.

As I have been arguing for a long time now, there is a real need not simply for a political economy of wealth but also for a political economy of speed.

Moreover, it is clear that the era of the information bomb, the era of aerial warfare, the era of the RMA and global surveillance is also the era of the integral accident.

The technologies of virtual reality are attempting to make us see from beneath, from inside, from behind... as if we were God.

For all the sophistication of GPS, there still remain numerous problems with their use. The most obvious problem in this context is the problem of landmines. For example, when the French troops went into Kosovo they were told that they were going to enter in half-tracks, over the open fields. But their leaders had forgotten about the landmines. And this was a major problem because, these days, landmines are no longer localized.

If we turn to the war in Kosovo, what do we find? We find the manipulation of the audience's emotions by the mass media.
