This is one of those books that I’m gonna miss once I’m finished reading it.
The Anthropocene Reviewed is partly a highlight reel of human’s history on Earth, partly a memoir, and wholly a fascinating, engaging, and insightful read.
This was actually recommended to me by a friend a long time ago,[1] whose review is just lovely. (Thank you, and thank you for all the memories we’ve shared and for the gifts – with all my heart I hope you are well!!)
Quotes
It’s been my experience that almost everything easy to mock turns out to be interesting if you pay closer attention.
What feels like “a long time ago” is only 4 years, and yet so much can happen in 4 years. Gah, looking back at that old post, so many interesting books came out in 2021. Or maybe it’s just that, because of quarantine, we had more time to pay attention to new books. ↩︎
