The Anthropocene Reviewed
A deeply moving and mind-expanding collection of personal essays, The Anthropocene Reviewed is the first work of non-fiction from #1 internationally bestselling author John Green. This remarkable symphony of essays is adapted and expanded from his groundbreaking, critically acclaimed podcast, where John Green reviews different facets of our human-centred planet on a five-star scale. From the QWERTY keyboard and Halley's Comet to Penguins of Madagascar, each essay provides a unique perspective on the current geological age, known as the Anthropocene, where human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and its biodiversity.
John Green, one of the world's most beloved novelists, transitions seamlessly into non-fiction with a collection of essays that combine deep personal reflections with broader critiques of modern life and the human experience. His gift for storytelling shines throughout this artfully curated collection, making complex topics accessible and engaging. The essays serve as 'observations that double as exercises in memoiristic empathy,' blending detailed analysis with personal anecdotes that resonate with readers.
The Anthropocene Reviewed includes beloved essays from the original podcast along with six all-new pieces exclusive to the book, making it a must-read for fans both new and old. With over 10 million downloads, the podcast has captivated audiences across the globe, and this book promises to reach even further, offering a profound exploration of what it means to be human in our current age.
Praised for its rich detail and empathetic insights, The Anthropocene Reviewed is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the intricate connections between human activity and the natural world. John Green invites readers to reflect on their own lives and their place in the broader tapestry of human history, all while providing a richly rewarding reading experience that stays with you long after you turn the final page.
