Started What If? by Randall Munroe.
It’s by the guy who runs / draws xkcd.com web comics, and gives serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions. For example: Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?
Questions are weird like that, but the science is real, so an interesting read. Specially if you are a fan of xkcd.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Heh, nice!
How’s How To? ? I love xkcd but wasn’t sure how it would feel to read his long form text, but I am enjoying that, so will probably get rest of books too.
Fun. Hilarious. The chapters are definitely longer than what I can see so far with “What If?”, so that’s a point to “How To?” in my book, but there are subchapters if you need them. If you enjoy science and xkcd’s sense of humour it’s definitely a great read.
Thanks, added it to my list!
