There's a fitting quote from 2017's Columbus:

> "[...] in its place, he identifies a different kind of crisis. Not the crisis of attention, but the crisis of interest."

Our attention in fact, has never been as fully absorbed as is today's. In place of books and architecture (as in the film), our attention has shifted towards more rapid forms. Yet in terms of hours spent, our 'attention' towards them has massively increased.

Is the crisis we're feeling then one of purported inattention, or a general loss of interest and satisfaction from our surrounds? What has spurred this crisis? Gabriel and Casey's conversation ends:

> "What about everyday life? Are we losing interest in everyday life?"

The film offers an hopeful answer.
