The Anthropocene Reviewed

"I want to fall in love with the world anyway, to let it crack me open."

Using a rating system that has dominated how humans measure enjoyment and quality, John Green rates the anthropocene (aka "the time during which humans have had a substantial impact on our planet"). From Googling strangers to teddy bears, Green paints his observations of humanity in its silliest, most earnest, and sometimes most tragic lights. 

The narration is done by the author and adds a personal touch to this incredibly moving series of essays.
