The Anthropocence Reviewed - John Green

BookNotes

Author: John-Green

I know mostly know John-Green from his young adult novels (and YouTube), so The Anthropocene Reviewed is a departure for him. Its a memoir based around short essays where he rates things out of five, including chapters on Super Mario Kart, the internet, and our capacity for wonder. Throughout he leaves a memoir of sorts, dropping details and stories about his life, as well as more philosophical writing. It has beautiful writing throughout and is interesting and reflective.

  • Small reviews of many unconnected things building up a personal memoir
  • Writes beautifully about art and being connected. Is passionate and profound. Prefer it to non fiction
  • How strange it is to be alive
