Humanityâs ascent is often measured by the speed of progress. But what if progress is actually spiraling us downwards, towards collapse? Ronald Wright, whose best-seller, âA Short History Of Progressâ inspired âSurviving Progressâ, shows how past civilizations were destroyed by âprogress trapsââalluring technologies and belief systems that serve immediate needs, but ransom the future. As pressure on the worldâs resources accelerates and financial elites bankrupt nations, can our globally-entwined civilization escape a final, catastrophic progress trap? With potent images and illuminating insights from thinkers who have probed our genes, our brains, and our social behaviour, this requiem to progress-as-usual also poses a challenge: to prove that making apes smarter isnât an evolutionary dead-end.

Wim Wenders says, "If in our century something sacred still existed⦠if there were something like a sacred treasure of the cinema, then for me that would have to be the work of the Japanese director, Yasujiro Ozu. He made fifty-four films. Silent films in the Twenties, black-and-white films in the Thirties and Forties, and finally colour films until his death on December 12th, 1963, on his sixtieth birthday. Ozu's work does not need my praise and such a sacred treasure of the cinema could only reside in the realm of the imagination. And so, my trip to Tokyo was in no way a pilgrimage. I was curious as to whether I still could track down something from this time, whether there was still anything left of this work. Images perhaps, or even people⦠Or whether so much would have changed in Tokyo in the twenty years since Ozu's death that nothing would be left to find.
