The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green

6 reviews

abigailbat's review

emotional funny hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

I read this for Jacob’s book group at the library and was so glad to have an excuse to finally pick it up and read it. In a series of very short essays, John Green examines and “reviews” items and events from the Anthropocene (from the epoch of human life on earth). From Canada geese to the Lascaux cave paintings to scratch & sniff stickers to wintry mix, the topics are a wide, eclectic range. And through these musings, Green reflects on his own life and his own place in the world and our place as a human species interacting with the world. A few essays made me cry, a few made me laugh, and I’m excited to see which essays stuck out to everyone else because I bet they are all different.
