I ve been a reader of XKCD for ages Not just a reader a fan A big goey geeky fan So much of a fan that when I heard about this book I went so far as to abuse my power as an author to get an Advance Reading Copy of the book so that I could enjoy its deliciousness sooner And y know taunt people on the internet And it worked I got an early copy And I treasured it I petted it It was precious to me Precious Then life got in the way Conventions Promotion for my own book launch I had dad stuff to do I had prep work for the yearly Worldbuilders fundraiser Then I had my book tour Through all of this I carried my precious ARC around waiting for the time when I d be able to spare the brainpower to read it I even took it on tour with me Honestly this book has freuent flier miles than any three of you put togetherIt wasn t until I got back home that I started it I wanted something to read before I went to bed and I picked What If because I was worried if I picked up another book I d be reading half the night and it would screw up my already dysfunctional sleep schedule Despite my best intentions I read half the book that night It cost me precious sleep I couldn t afford to lose But I don t regret it Not a bit It s clever but if you know anything about Randall Munroe that won t come as a surprise to you And it s funny and witty which are two different things by the way But again to readers of XKCD this won t come as any sort of surprise The surprise was how easy it was to read There s some decent science in there but it wasn t anywhere nearly as brain taxing as I d expected Munroe does a brilliant job of explaining very complex concepts simply That s a rare gift The other surprise is how much it pulled me in I expected to read the book in dribs and drabs over a couple weeks Instead I tore through it That s not usually the case for me with non fiction books In brief it s worth your time Even if you haven t read his comic Even if you haven t ever heard of Randall Munroe Even if you re not into science You should pick this up and read it You ll be glad you did

This book opens with the best disclaimer I have ever seenDo not try any of this at home The author of this book is an Internet cartoonist not a health or safety expert He likes it when things catch fire or explode which means he does not have your best interests in mind The publisher and the author disclaim responsibility for any adverse effects resulting directly or indirectly from information contained in this bookThat disclaimer really sets the tone for this fun book about science Dangerous ideas ahead folks Don t get too close these things could kill yaRandall Munroe used to work at NASA and now he creates the webcomic XKCD which sounds less stressful than the NASA gig On his website he takes absurd hypothetical uestions from readers and tries to answer some of them Here are some of my favorite uestions in this bookWhat would happen if everyone on Earth stood as close to each other as they could and jumped everyone landing on the ground at the same instantIf every human somehow simply disappeared from the face of the Earth how long would it be before the last artificial light source would go outHow long could a nuclear submarine last in orbitFrom what height would you need to drop a steak for it to be cooked when it hit the groundIf everyone on the planet stayed away from each other for a couple of weeks wouldn t the common cold be wiped outWhich US state is actually flown over the mostIs there enough energy to move the entire current human population off planetHow high can a human throw somethingHow fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and liveWhen if ever will the bandwidth of the Internet surpass that of FedExHow uickly would the oceans drain if a circular portal 10 meters in radius leading into space were created at the bottom of Challenger Deep the deepest spot in the ocean How would the Earth change as the water was being drainedHow many Lego bricks would it take to build a bridge capable of carrying traffic from London to New York Have that many Lego bricks been manufacturedWhat would happen to the Earth if the Sun suddenly switched offIf you are interested to know any of the answers to those uestions this book is for you What made this so much fun aside from the ridiculous uestions is Munroe s sense of humor Several times I laughed out loud at his drawings and his answers which is not something that usually happens when I m reading about science Oh and be sure to read his footnotes which have even jokesI think this book would be a great gift for kids who love to ask crazy uestions about how the world works I think I would have loved it when I was 10 I need to thank my GR friend Brendon for pointing out this marvelous book because I had never heard of the author before It s the miracle of Goodreads
