The Anthropocene Reviewed explores a wide range of familiar topics in a series of essays, while employing a five-star rating system, thereby “reviewing” what it means to be human in the modern era. The topics covered in the essays, while varied and sometimes humorous, provide an opportunity to explore the interconnectivity of life and encourage readers to think critically, and oftentimes question, the world around them.
