À propos de cette écoute
“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 and host of the podcast Re:Thinking
The instant #1 bestseller from John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down, is now available with two brand-new essays!
“Gloriously personal and life-affirming. The perfect book for right now.”—People
“Essential to the human conversation.”—Library Journal, starred review
The Anthropocene is the current geologic age, in which humans have profoundly reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays, bestselling author John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet on a five-star scale—from the QWERTY keyboard and sunsets to Canada geese and Penguins of Madagascar. Funny, complex, and rich with detail, the reviews chart the contradictions of contemporary humanity.
John Green’s gift for storytelling shines throughout this masterful collection. The Anthropocene Reviewed is an open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world.
Audio exclusive! Three bonus essays!

Commentaires
“The book is a review of humanity: how we grow, how we build, how we destroy, and how we observe ourselves. Many books succeed at making the personal universal, but this one also makes the universal personal.... This is a book about culture, about science and medicine, about Green himself, but really it surpasses these designations. It is essential to the human conversation. John Green whispered the truth of humanity onto the page, and as with all good secrets, you’ll need to lean in closely to hear.” (Library Journal, starred review)
“The Anthropocene Reviewed is the perfect book to read over lunch or to keep on your nightstand, whenever you need a reminder of what it is to feel small and human, in the best possible way.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
“There is something of the sermon in [Green’s] essays as he mixes curiosity and erudition with confession, compassion, and wit, searching for illuminating life lessons amid life’s dark chaos. His particular mix of irony and sincerity enables him to embrace both the sublime and the ridiculous.” (Booklist)

I cried and I laughed
It's rich in emotion and it's a strange ride to listen to but it's an important ride. It's a ride that changed me

Good, but overstays its welcome
As a big fan of the podcast that birthed this audiobook, I was surprised to find myself increasingly annoyed by the book and the author. What happened to the reviews I waited patiently for each month? And I realized that The Anthropocene Reviewed is best in small doses.
Green is that intelligent friend you had in college. Always there with a quote or a memorized poem (something Green goes to repeatedly here) and occasionally a fact that you didn't know you needed to know. But with that insight you get pretentiousness and navel gazing that wears on you. At one point, Green describes a meeting with an advertising executive who describes his frustration being talked down to by people like Green. Green's takeaway is not to be less condescending, but to spend less time around advertising execs. It's a clever enough joke, but by the end of The Anthropocene Reviewed, I found myself sympathizing with that executive more and more. With the podcast, I could feast on the good parts of Green's writing and forget the bad parts. Going straight through, however, the bad parts started to crowd out the good.
