Masterful. The Anthropocene Reviewed is a beautiful, timely book about the human condition—and a timeless reminder to pay attention to your attention. —Adam Grant, #1 bestselling author of Think Again
The #1 bestseller from John Green, beloved author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down, offers something entirely new: a collection of essays that review the human experience itself on a five-star scale.
What does it mean to be human in the Anthropocene—this current geologic age where we’ve profoundly reshaped our planet? Green takes up this question with his signature wit and heart, turning his attention to everything from the QWERTY keyboard and sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar. Each essay is a meditation, a love letter, and sometimes a lament for the strange, beautiful world we’ve created.
This isn’t just a collection of observations—it’s an open-hearted exploration of what it means to pay attention, to fall in love with the ordinary, and to find meaning in the contradictions of contemporary life. Green’s gift for storytelling transforms everyday subjects into profound reflections on humanity, connection, and wonder.
