By John Green

Categories: Literature & Fiction

The Anthropocene Reviewed is a collection of essays by John Green, adapted from his podcast and published in 2021. Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale, from the QWERTY keyboard, sunsets and Canada geese to Diet Dr Pepper, the internet and the song You'll Never Walk Alone. Mixing history, science and memoir, the essays reflect on wonder, anxiety, illness and the pandemic, and on what it means to be human.
