Building on the heritage of classical social theory, the book series examines ways in which this tradition has been reshaped by a new generation of theorists.

I want to offer my deepest thanks to Paul Virilio, who not only gave me his permis- sion to publish his words in this book but who also took time out from a fren- zied writing schedule to produce the Preface for it. Mike Gane and Nicholas Zurbrugg commented on an earlier draft of the Introduction. To Mike and Nicholas my sincere thanks. Thanks are also due to Douglas Kellner for refer- eeing Virilio interviews in German. Additionally, I owe a debt of gratitude to Mike Featherstone, the editor of Theory, Culture and Society, and to Chris Rojek, senior commissioning editor at Sage, for encouraging my work on Virilio from the beginning. To the Virilio interviewers, translators and publishers, dispersed across the world, and who gave their work and permissions, a genuine thank you. How- ever, I was not able to locate all the interviewers, translators and publishers of the interviews published in this volume. On behalf of Sage Publications, I would like to say that every effort has been made to trace all the copyright holders of the material reprinted herein, but if any have been inadvertently overlooked the publishers will be pleased to make the necessary arrange- ments at the first opportunity. For their willingness to allow either the publi- cation of an interview originally published in a language other than English or an interview that has not been published previously, I would especially like to thank Andreas Ruby, Niels Brügger and Nicholas Zurbrugg. I am particularly grateful to Patrice Riemens, the Scarlet Pimpernel of cyberspace, who translated Virilio’s Preface, various Virilio interviews, and who offered sometimes-dizzying dromological companionship in Amsterdam and Paris. My colleagues in the Division of Government and Politics at the University of Northumbria, UK and, in particular, John Fenwick and Ken Harrop provided much-appreciated intellectual, financial and administrative support. I am also grateful to Arthur Affleck. His research assistance was invaluable in the final stages of the preparation of this book. Lastly, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my partner in love, life and the odd academic crime, Joanne Roberts. On numerous occasions, Joanne generously put her own research aside to comment on many of the draft sections of this book.
