It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day’s journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.

Herodotus, The Histories,  440 BCE

As soon as the bomber squadrons crossed the coastlines, the population was alerted and, as the plane altered its bearings, the target cities were immediately warned. Space and time shrank; the danger was experienced simultaneously by millions of listeners. What protects, it seems, is news, the radio; it is having time when there is no more space - reaction time. ... Transparency, ubiquity, total and instantaneous knowledge - these are the ingredients for survival.

Paul Virilio, Bunker Archaeology, 1975
