The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green

4.0

---

this book would be the ideal gateway for someone just getting into non-fiction. blending essay writing with fragments of memoir, john green reviews a series of random aspects of the anthropocene (the geological age in which humans have had a substantial impact on the planet), from diet dr pepper to the game monopoly to the discovery of penicillin. the review format is an effective and entertaining way for john green to examine the complexities of the human experience, and i learned a lot of fun facts from this.
