As new technologies accelerate the pace of the world, the human body is exposed to hitherto unexperienced velocities. Will the body acquire new powers and opportunities in consequence, or will we find it torn apart by this new speed? This article considers three possible types of encounter—destructive, diminishing, and augmenting—between speed, technology, and the body. It then turns to the work of Spinoza to explain the interrelation between them and to provide a political and ethical guide to promoting positive encounters
