"The Anthropocene is the current geological age, in which human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and its biodiversity.

I began this book back in January, when I was working more strongly on my 32-books-for-the-year challenge and had already solidly finished three. I intended to finish the book within a couple of weeks, though that never came to fruition as varying motivation took my pace away.

Further delay on finishing this read came in the form of being broken up with by my partner one day before our six-month anniversary. It is difficult to write about the ensuing grief, being in the middle of it, but I try just the same; if John Green could write this book in the middle of the Anthropocene, and so many reviews talking about the pandemic while he was in the midst of the worst of it, then I can write this review in the midst of my grief. (And it was my mistake that led to the breakup, anyhow -- I can afford myself no luxuries and no feeling that I am a victim in need of comfort.)

In Mr. Green's last review of the book (at least, before the postscripts, which are followed by two more written after the book's first publication), one of an August Sander photograph called Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance, he discusses how the subjects of the photo were mere weeks away from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the plunging of their country of Germany into World War I. He explains that the picture is about both knowing and not knowing. "You know you're on your way to a dance, but don't know you're on your way to a war. The picture is a reminder that you never know what will happen to you, to your friends, to your nation. [...] And that reminds us there is also a horizon we cannot see past."

In starting this book, I knew that I was on my way to the end of another book, but I did not know that I was on my way to the void that I am now trying to crawl out of. I still do not know when or how I will make it out of this void, yet I know I will not come out of it the same person I was before. Mr. Green mentioned in his review of the photograph that one of the three farmers was killed in the war, and the other two were injured (one three times) but survived the war anyhow, though changed because of it. But I have faith that I will get through this, as I have gotten through so many other things in my life, and this book has been help towards that goal.

I give The Anthropocene Reviewed five stars. ( )

Listening to this audiobook at work with a toilet brush in-hand, Green's chapter on the now-extinct Kaua’i ō’ō’s had me dissolving over a hotel toilet bowl. Green’s empathy colors even his darker observations with sweet flecks of human connection. How he manages this with chapters on hot dogs, Mario Kart, and a foreign soccer team is exactly why it’s so worth the read. ( )

This is a book of essays on any and everything. Everybody I listen to (my vloggers) love this book. Truthfully, I found many of his essays not interesting to me. Basically, I found it a tedious read, and I am surely in the minority. ( )

I enjoyed this book even more than I thought I would. Ive been a fan of John Green's for a while, but this was so unlike any media of his I've ever consumed before - a profound insight into humanity, its ups and downs, and where each and every 9ne of us little humans fits into the grand scheme of things. This book was a brutal reminder of the reality of our existence, how we're changing the Earth (and not for the better)... but it also left me with hope. Hope for what we are and what we can become. It showed the good in humanity as well as the bad. And in line with John's rating system, I give hope for humanity five stars. ( )

Taking on the style of a Yelp review, Green assigns a five-star rating to each topic he covers. “Our Capacity for Wonder,” for example, gets three and a half stars (due to humans’ general lack of attentiveness), while Diet Dr. Pepper gets four—Green loves the drink, but finds consuming it feels like “committing a sin.” ...Each short review is rich with meaning and filled with surprises—”Sunsets,” for example, draws on several poems to ask “what should we do about the clichéd beauty” of a setting sun— and together, they amount to a resonant paean to hard-won hope.

For most of human existence, things didn't change much within a single lifetime... Now we live in the Great Acceleration, also known as the Anthropocene, where even the Earth gets updates to its apps. Change (like global warming and pandemics) is the hallmark of this new era. How to live in the midst its uncertainty without falling into despair is the open question. In his new book, The Anthropocene Reviewed, John Green uses humor, wisdom and a keen sense of connections to offer us something like an answer... What Green is really telling us with these unexpected stories about Sycamore Trees, Canada Geese and Dr. Pepper is how much there is to love in the world and why that love is worth the effort.

The bestselling author offers a miscellany of essays on life and letters in an environmentally fraught time.... A grab bag, but one that repays reading and reflection and a pleasure throughout despite occasionally dark moments.

The book makes the wondrous small — see his essay on Halley’s Comet — and the small wondrous — like his ode to Scratch n’ Sniff Stickers. The breadth of Green’s musings at times feels like a late-night dorm-room conversation, like his attempt to contextualize just how brief of a period we have been fumbling about the planet. But those conversations were fun, weren’t they? “The Anthropocene Reviewed” is the perfect book to read over lunch or to keep on your nightstand, whenever you need a reminder of what it is to feel small and human, in the best possible way.

Introduction
My novel Turtles All The Way Down was published in October of 2017, and after spending a month on tour for the book, I came home to Indianapolis and blazed a trail between my children's tree house and the little room where my wife and I often work, a room that depending on your worldview is either an office or a shed.

Despair isn't very productive. That's the problem with it. Like a replicating virus, all despair can make is more of itself.
