I’ve read a bit of Virilio, including Negative Horizon where he lays out Dromology. I’ll have to check this interview out, I’m very excited. We need a cyberpunk book or anime called “Genesis Offensive” so bad
We must speak in mythic terms, but who's myths? Are we to be Prometheus, cursed forever by the gods for the crime of gifting humankind with power over nature? Or Icarus, slain by his own hubris and naivety of the awesome might of the technology at his disposal? Perhaps we will be Daedalus (the so-often forgotten second member of that story) who took his own advice to avoid the excess and deficiency and instead flew the Golden Mean between the heat of the sun and the spray of the ocean. Those of us who seek to make humanity shapers of the development of life, rather than simply spectators, must select the myths we use carefully.

I thought it was a really cool title for the second offensive. He does not use that title, but he describes it as genesis.
