We are living in the Anthropocene, the current geologic age where humans have completely reshaped the planet and its biodiversity. Adapted from his wildly popular podcast, John Green turns his brilliant observational eye toward the everyday phenomena of our human-centered world, rating them on a five-star scale. From the strange layout of the QWERTY keyboard and the stubborn existence of Canada geese to the beauty of sunsets and the bizarre charm of the Penguins of Madagascar, these essays explore the massive contradictions of modern life. You will see how humanity is simultaneously far too powerful and entirely vulnerable. Through sharp humor and rich historical detail, Green captures the shared anxieties and unexpected wonders of living right now. It is a deeply personal, open-hearted examination of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with a deeply flawed world.
