...spiraling incline takes shoppers on a tour of luxe fashion and lifestyle boutiques. Cafés and restaurants abound, and if you're patient enough to brave the queues, Mist's upscale take on the traditional ramen shop makes for a delightful stop. Vague attempts have been made to cast Omotesando in an eco-friendly mold (there's a barrage of greenery and free bicycle parking within), but the eye is only briefly fooled: in the end, this is an icon of big-city consumerism, and an authentic taste of Tokyo's hypermodern retail landscape...

Last month, the American philosopher and evolutionary theorist Daniel Dennett provoked more controversy with Breaking the Spell, in which he cast religion in terms of memes - cultural ideas that can spread, mutate and survive in our minds, whether or not they are good for us.
