John Green's "The Anthropocene Reviewed" hits bookshelves May 18, 2021.
Bestselling author John Green argues in his new book of essays that our modern concept of a five-star rating veers into the absurd: It's meant to be an objective way for us in the digital age to compute something’s worth, but that's impossible to do when every opinion we develop is an amalgamation of our own experiences. 
"When I wrote the first couple of essays, I wrote them as if I were a neutral observer of these phenomena," Green, 43, tells USA TODAY. But his wife, art curator Sarah Urist Green, mused that as a Diet Dr Pepper fanatic, he couldn't rate the soda from a completely neutral point of view.
