my favorite Virilio ideas:

with each new invention comes a new kind of catastropheIndustrial Revolution

Internet Age—we see these catastrophes playing out large-scale on a global stage. 

framework 
networks 
transforms 
discrete 
monumental 
catastrophe 
-----------
quotidian 
miniature 
forms.

other condensed frameworks: viruses (virtual and corporeal), nanotechnology, CRISPR, microcomputing, smart dust, visioning and listening devices. 

calibration is shrinking dramatically and the ramifications of our catastrophes are all the more ubiquitous, omnipresent, and insidious as a result. 

implications of these systems: omnipresence/omniscience/omnipotence and the promise of resurrection, colliding with the threat of annihilation, is a familiar God.
