What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
Dive into the wildly imaginative and delightfully nerdy world of Randall Munroe, former NASA roboticist and creator of the webcomic xkcd. This two-book set brings together his best-selling, humour-infused explorations of science, absurdity, and logic.
-
How To: A brilliantly unconventional guide to solving everyday problems — the xkcd way. Whether it’s landing a plane, digging a hole, or charging your phone, Munroe gives hilariously impractical but scientifically sound advice using stick-figure illustrations and real physics.
-
What If?: Ever wondered what would happen if you hit a baseball at the speed of light, or if everyone on Earth jumped at once? Munroe tackles the most bizarre and fascinating hypothetical questions from his readers with wit, insight, and serious scientific reasoning.
Perfect for curious minds, science lovers, and fans of geeky humour, this collection entertains while making you think deeply about the world (and universe) around you.
