The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet

The instant #1 bestseller from John Green, author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS and TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN, is now available in paperback with two brand-new essays!

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.
