The Anthropocene is the current geological age, in which human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded from his ground-breaking, critically acclaimed podcast, John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet - from the QWERTY keyboard and Halley's Comet to Penguins of Madagascar - on a five-star scale.

Complex and rich with detail, the Anthropocene's reviews have been praised as 'observations that double as exercises in memoiristic empathy', with over 10 million lifetime downloads. John Green's gift for storytelling shines throughout this artfully curated collection about the shared human experience; it includes beloved essays along with six all-new pieces exclusive to the book.]]> 304 John Green 0525555218 Eva 5 4.37 2021

review:
This is hands-down the best non-fiction book I have ever read. I usually dislike non-fiction, so the only reason I was reading it was as a school assignment. To my suprise it was excellent. If an author can make me like a non-fiction book, you know it's going to be good. There were just so many fantastic things about this book. Not only to you learn some intrestiong things, but you also get to read heartwrenching or heartwarming stories, hear thoughts you never thought, or thoughts you never thought anyone else thought, and just generally feel a sense of restored hope. Highly reccomend, this was amazing.
