Examining how the `here and now' of space, territory, the body, are being redefined by new technologies and how this undoes simplistic versions of the globalization thesis, Paul Virilio demonstrates how technology has made inertia the defining condition of modernity. An instantaneous present has replaced space and the sovereignty of territory; everything happens without the need to go anywhere. This book will be a key reference for students and scholars of the latest thinking in social theory.

Polar inertia
Although certain sections of this book seem to tie together ideas of philosophy in the sciences and the following social science applications of that philosophy particularly well, there are times it fails completely to explain entire sections of philosophical investigation.
On the influences of Marx, the book often fails to justify exactly how Marx applies, and is particularly sparse in clarifying the feminist positions of epistemology. If anything, it has made me more confused on these topics than when I started on these points rather than more directed in where I can gain understanding. Perhaps this book should have been two: Philosophy and History of Empiricism of Social Science and Philosophy and History of Rationalism and Realism of Social Science.
