City of Panic takes the reader on a journey across the airy
boulevards of Paris and into the crypt of its Metro. For Virilio,
whose sense of cities was formed by earlier wars, Paris is both the
City of Light and the City of Panic. Written in the shadow of war,
City of Panic argues that cities everywhere have been the dedicated
target of political and technological terror throughout the 20th
century. The wanton erasure of the past, the construction of
identikit places, the proliferation of gated-communities, the
ever-widening net of surveillance, the privatisation of what was
public ...Now every metropolis is a war zone and every metropolis
is the same. In this globalized and militarized everywhere, all
citizens are becoming one citizen - saturated, standardized and
synchronized - ever-more reliant on a media fabricating a world of
fear. For the panic of the 21st century is simply the final phase
of the pincer movement. Place-less, media-fed, panic-struck -
welcome to the desert of the real.
