What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions by Randall Munroe

5.0

If you're something of a geek you may know Randall Munroe as the cartoonist of XKCD. And even if you're not a geek you should definitely check XKCD out. Anyhow, although he does have his cartoon drawings interspersed throughout this book, it is not a cartoon book, but a very scientific look at "What if" questions. Randall also has several brief interludes with questions he has understandably refused to answer.
