The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green

Humans can be too powerful as well as lack in power. Our power reshapes Earth’s climate and biodiversity, yet we are not powerful enough to choose how we reshape them. We can travel to space, but fail to end human suffering. Funny, complex, and rich with detail, the book, using a series of essays, identifies the contradictions of contemporary humanity. The Anthropocene Reviewed is an open-hearted exploration of the paths we forge and an unironic celebration of falling in love with the world.
