Sinossi
L'Antropocene è l'attuale era geologica, in cui l'opera dell'uomo ha profondamente ridisegnato e influenzato il pianeta. A partire dal podcast di grande successo in America, arricchito e trasformato in questo volume anche a causa della pandemia, John Green recensisce, con tanto di valutazione da 1 a 5 stelle, diversi aspetti del nostro pianeta antropocentrico - dalla tastiera QWERTY ai velociraptor, passando per internet, i miti dello sport e i videogiochi, fino ai Pinguini di Madagascar. Prodotti artificiali come le bevande gassate, specie naturali le cui abitudini sono state irrimediabilmente modificate dall'azione umana, fenomeni che influenzano l'umanità come la cometa di Halley: le recensioni dell'autore compongono una vera e propria sinfonia, in un libro complesso e ricco di dettagli. Il talento di John Green per raccontare storie risplende più che mai e ci porta a guardare con occhi diversi il nostro presente e il mondo che ci circonda.

Anthropocene (noun): the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. Have you ever heard that term before now? I sure hadn’t before coming across John Green’s excellent 2021 essay collection, written during C Leggi tutto
Audiobook…read by John Green …..10 hours and 3 minutes Nothing prepared me for how wonderful this book is. I’m thrilled that I own it.
