"Masterful. The Anthropocene Reviewed is a beautiful, timely book about the human condition—and a timeless reminder to pay attention to your attention." —Adam Grant, #1 bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast Re:Thinking

Instant #1 bestseller! A deeply moving collection of personal essays from John Green, the author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down.

"Gloriously personal and life-affirming. The perfect book for right now." —People
"
Essential to the human conversation." —Library Journal, starred review

The Anthropocene is the current geologic age, in which humans have profoundly reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays, bestselling author John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale—from the QWERTY keyboard and sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar. Funny, complex, and rich with detail, the reviews chart the contradictions of contemporary humanity.

John Green's gift for storytelling shines throughout this masterful collection. The Anthropocene Reviewed is an open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world.

Just started this book a few days ago. I reserved it at the library some time ago and forgot about it completely, so I went in without anticipations. It's good! It's a collection of essays, not a book length piece. I hadn't read his other stuff.

A little corny so might not be for everybody. Personally, I ate it up.
It's extremely easy to read, though. Each essay is very short, around 5 pages, so it's easy to pick up for just a few minutes at a time.

John Green mostly wrote teen fiction. I couldn't relate well to "The Fault in Our Stars" and "Looking for Alaska" because they're about teenagers making questionable life choices. His non-fiction is much more enjoyable to me, an almost 40 year old man. He has an adult fiction novel coming out in September that's about a movie about Andy Warhol, so hopefully it's decent. His brother Hank wrote two novels about alien robots that were interesting.

Listened this as an audiobook bc the author narrates it. It's an excellent listen.
