The crucial part here is technology, which allows us to annihilate space by time compression. For a more detailed account of the relation between Harvey's time-space compressions and the globalisation/regionalisation nexuses, see the introduction to this special issue.

14. The City of Interzone is William Burroughs' strange vision of Tangier in the 1950s. 'Panorama of the City of Interzone. Opening bars of East St Louis Toodleoo ... at times loud and clear then faint and intermittent like music down a windy street. The room seems to shake and vibrate with motion. The blood and substance of many races, Negro, Polynesian, Mountain Mongol, Desert Nomad, Polyglot, Near East, Indian-races as yet unconceived and unborn, combinations not yet realised pass through their body. Migrations, incredible journeys through deserts and jungles and mountains (stasis and death in closed mountain valleys where plants grow out of genitals, vast crustaceans hatch inside and break the shell of body) across the Pacific in an outrigger canoe to Easter Island. The Composite City where all human potentials are spread out in vast silent market.' Burroughs, Naked Lunch, p 91.
