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

adventurous emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

4.0

I enjoyed this! I dont know if I have a ton to say, other than I love the combo of John Green’s prose with learning fun facts about the world around me. I’d listened to the podcast for a while back in the day so this was fun to revisit in a new form. I will say, it is dense at some points to try and finish quickly but, it is also a very digestible way of learning new info. I do also feel he couldve used less annotations / notes (i cant think of the formal word but when you make readers jump to the bottom of the page for more info), but its just a personal preference since they make me lose my rhythm when reading. I recommend if youre looking to ease into nonfiction and enjoy his novels, or just enjoy deep dives into the anthropocene.
