John Green's "The Anthropocene Reviewed" was surprisingly a great joy to read. It was a light in the dark for me. He makes me feel thankful and appreciative of being a part of the human race without coming off as cheesy or contrived. And it's funny, too.

It seems, to me, to be a brilliant and vulnerable satire of modern social rating system and social networks. The way I am near tears listening to some of the most private moments about this man's life, followed up by "I give Academic Decathlon 4 out of 5 stars" is a hilarious reminder that the rating systems we use online are so deeply detached from the experiences they represent.
