Description:
I Am a Bullet is a brave new book for a brave new world, a visual and verbal vortex of images and ideas, and an introduction to people whose lives have been transformed by speed. This is what it feels like to freefall from the edge of outer space faster than sound, faster than a bullet, literally. This is why it takes more than an hour to recount the 8.7 -second experience of wiping out in a car traveling in excess of 500 m.p.h. This is how individuals around the globe have acutely experienced what we are all experiencing, to one degree or another: that speed is no longer an attribute of history; it has become, for us, its unifying content.
