814.6 /Green
Nonfiction

"The Anthropocene is the current geological age, in which human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded from his groundbreaking podcast, John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet-from the QWERTY keyboard and Staphylococcus aureus to the Taco Bell breakfast menu-on a five-star scale. John Green's gift for storytelling shines throughout this artfully curated collection that includes both beloved essays and all-new pieces exclusive to the book"--

John Green is silly and serious with his non-fiction debut. He meditates on our human centered planet through essays that review a wide variety of things: from Diet Dr. Pepper to sunsets to the movie "Harvey." I enjoyed the "positive" reviews far more than the "negative" ones, but it was interesting and enjoyable throughout. -Brian
