About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A deeply moving and insightful collection of personal essays from #1 bestselling author John Green, adapted from his critically acclaimed podcast.

The Anthropocene is the current geological age, in which human activity has profoundly shaped the planet and its biodiversity. In this remarkable symphony of essays adapted and expanded from his groundbreaking podcast, John Green reviews different facets of the human-centered planet - from the QWERTY keyboard and Staphylococcus aureus to the Taco Bell breakfast menu - on a five-star scale.

Complex and rich with detail, the Anthropocene's reviews have been praised as 'observations that double as exercises in memoiristic empathy.' John Green's gift for storytelling shines throughout this artfully curated collection that includes both beloved essays and all-new pieces exclusive to the book.

If there is one book you should give to aliens to explain what happens on this little planet, this should be it. It is so good!

A noble and great introduction to Anthropocene

Just hear John speak to you and your soul and all your sensibilities, to reflect upon your own life and all the words you have read and forgotten and wish you could hold on to.

This audiobook has the complete experience of John Green's keen observations and thoughts regarding the general and his own life as a human being, coupled with his expressive voice.
I could hear him supressing a laugh, smiling through the narration, feeling helpless and regret but also hope, as he reviewed each topic. I cried a few times when I could relate with what he said, making me realise that this is "anthropocene"; shared experiences of all us humans who are, in the end, just earth breathing in earth :)

Giving the book 5 stars!

Humans at the centre of it all...for now

Amazing. The narration was good, by the author himself and we could feel the emotions he went through which is quite amazing.

A must listen for someone to feel how centrain events affects in a way we never thought of.

It was an amazing Journey
