The Next Online Book Club Selection

What does it truly mean to live in a world reshaped by humans? Find out in The Anthropocene Reviewed by bestselling author John Green.

We’ve entered a geological epoch in which human activity is significantly impacting the planet’s climate and ecosystems. In an assemblage of thought-provoking personal essays in The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet, author and podcaster John Green embarks upon a tour of our people-dominated world, visiting everything from Canada geese to the design of the QWERTY keyboard. Insightful, humorous, and poignant, this collection reveals the beauty, strangeness, and complexity that defines our era, inviting readers to see our world in a whole new light.
