Speed is the triumph of effect over cause, of the moment over time eternal, of superficiality and pure objectification over the depths of passion. Speed creates a consecrated space that can lead to death, where the only rule is to erase your tracks. The triumph of oblivion over remembrance; limitless intoxication with memory loss. The pure object's shallowness and reversibility in the desert's pure geometry.
(Baudrillard, p.17)
