Creative and Witty Essays on Humanity in the World This collection of short essays by John Green offers the author's unique perspective on the present and the human activities that shape and change the world around us. Using a five-star rating scale, he evaluates objects and events that surround us as humanity and with which we come into contact. The essays, mostly based on the author's personal experiences and memories, are intertwined with specific scientific information and facts. The diverse themes are adaptations and expansions of Green's groundbreaking and critically acclaimed podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed. In it, he reflects on the ability of people to admire the perfection of nature – how many generations have had the chance to see Halley's Comet or how scents can evoke forgotten memories – why to (not) fear golden staph or the impact that air conditioning, QWERTY keyboards, or teddy bears have on the world. Translated from the English original Anthropocene Reviewed (Dutton, An imprint of Penguin Random House LLC, USA 2021) by Jana Melcerová.
