Used. Hardcover. John Green takes a wildly eclectic slice of our human-dominated epoch—from Canada geese to the QWERTY keyboard—and rates them all on a classic five-star scale. It is a wonderfully witty and surprisingly tender taxonomy of the modern world, examining the peculiar paradox of a species both omnipotent and utterly overwhelmed. Whether he’s dissecting diet Dr Pepper or the internet, Green brings his trademark intellectual curiosity to the mundane and the magnificent alike. You will laugh, you might shed a sympathetic tear, and you will certainly look at your own strange place on this planet with fresh eyes. Consider this remarkable collection a five-star rating for the art of paying attention.
