Subject: DROMO: La bombe informatiqe/Angelaki/TCS


Dromologists,

As Yann just announced,  Virilio's _La bombe informatique (1998) 
Galilee: Paris,  has just been released in France. The first sentence 
of the book reads:

"Civilisation ou militarisation de la science?" 

However, the _original conversation between Virilio and Freidrich 
Kittler  and called 'The Information Bomb' has not been published -
yet. It will, though, appear next year in a special issue of the 
journal _Angelaki to be entitled  'Machinic Modulations: New Cultural 
Theory & Technopolitics' Vol 4. No 2. and edited by myself.

Also, I am (along with Mike Featherstone) currently putting the 
finishing touches to 'Paul Virilio: A Special Issue of  the journal 
_Theory, Culture & Society. The issue contains a long interview with 
Virilio conducted by me and articles on and by Virilio inclusive 
of work by James Der Derian, Douglas Kellner, Verena Andermatt 
Conley, Mike Gane, Neil Leach, Patrick Crogan, and Nicholas 
Zurbrugg.   It will be published in the Spring/Summer of 1999. There 
are also plans for it to be a book.

Best wishes,

John Armitage
