The Anthropocene Reviewed

A collection of personal essays by John Green, where he rates various facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale. From Diet Dr Pepper to plague to the QWERTY keyboard, Green explores what it means to be human in the modern age. The essays blend memoir, history, and philosophy with Green's signature wit and emotional depth, originally adapted from his podcast of the same name. Thoughtful, moving, and often surprisingly profound.
