"Christopher Ryan is one of the most interesting and provocative thinkers of our time. Everyone should read him--you might well disagree but you'll definitely think differently." --Johann Hari, New York Times -bestselling author of Lost Connections, "Every great once in a while, a book comes along that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew. Civilized to Death is without question one of them." --Jesse Bering, PhD, author of The Belief Instinct, "Incredible . . . timely . . . clarifying." -- Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter "Engaging, extensively documented, well-organized, and thought provoking." -- Booklist "Entertaining and provocative." -- Publishers Weekly " Often zingy and colorful . . . Civilized to Death is unquestionably well-timed . . . Ryan is right to highlight the aspects of modern life that have gone off the rails." --Undark "[A] prescient book about the nature of progress . . .

Synopsis
The New York Times bestselling coauthor of Sex at Dawn explores the ways in which "progress" has perverted the way we live--how we eat, learn, feel, mate, parent, communicate, work, and die--in this "engaging, extensively documented, well-organized, and thought-provoking" ( Booklist ) book. Most of us have instinctive evidence the world is ending--balmy December days, face-to-face conversation replaced with heads-to-screens zomboidism, a world at constant war, a political system in disarray. We hear some myths and lies so frequently that they feel like truths: Civilization is humankind's greatest accomplishment. Progress is undeniable. Count your blessings. You're lucky to be alive here and now. Well, maybe we are and maybe we aren't. Civilized to Death counters the idea that progress is inherently good, arguing that the "progress" defining our age is analogous to an advancing disease. Prehistoric life, of course, was not without serious dangers and disadvantages. Many babies died in infancy. A broken bone, infected wound, snakebite, or difficult pregnancy could be life-threatening. But ultimately, Christopher Ryan questions, were these pre-civilized dangers more murderous than modern scourges, such as car accidents, cancers, cardiovascular disease, and a technologically prolonged dying process? Civilized to Death "will make you see our so-called progress in a whole new light" ( Book Riot ) and adds to the timely conversation that "the way we have been living is no longer sustainable, at least as long as we want to the earth to outlive us" ( Psychology Today ). Ryan makes the claim that we should start looking backwards to find our way into a better future., New York Times bestselling author Christopher Ryan questions the widespread belief that progress and civilization are inherently positive. Many of the wonders of modernity, he suggests, are based more on propaganda than scientific fact. While prehistoric life was not without certain serious disadvantages, the lives of our foraging forebears were far from nasty, brutish, or short-despite what we've been led to believe. On the contrary, today's "enlightened" societies have much to learn from our "primitive" ancestors. At a time when our health, our society, and our planet all feel increasingly imperiled, an accurate understanding of our species' true nature is vital to a clear sense of the ultimate value of civilization-and its costs. In Civilized to Death, Ryan argues that we should look back to the past to navigate our way to a better future. Book jacket.
