In 2006, he left NASA to draw comics on the internet full-time, supporting himself through the sale of xkcd t-shirts, prints, posters, and books.

From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask
Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe’s iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have an enormous, dedicated following, as do his deeply researched answers to his fans’ strangest questions.
The queries he receives range from merely odd to downright diabolical:
• What if I took a swim in a spent-nuclear-fuel pool?
• Could you build a jetpack using downward-firing machine guns?
• What if a Richter 15 earthquake hit New York City?
• Are fire tornadoes possible?
His responses are masterpieces of clarity and wit, gleefully and accurately explaining everything from the relativistic effects of a baseball pitched at near the speed of light to the many horrible ways you could die while building a periodic table out of all the actual elements.
The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with the most popular answers from the xkcd website. What If? is an informative feast for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.

读后感
一本脑洞大开的书，问题大多不是很现实，但却是突破思维定势的一种尝试，于个人想象、思维创新有一定促进作用。 大多问题，估计很多人甚至想都没想过。其实很多事情还是蛮有趣的呢。比如，"人以每秒1英尺的速度上升，是先冻死还是先窒息而死？将元素周期表中的元素都排列在一...

评分这是一本能让极客爱不释手的书，但对我这样的非极客来说，也是一次妙趣横生的旅行，首先打开书我就看到了最别开生面的免责声明：不要在家里尝试书中提到的任何行为。本书作者是一位互联网漫画家而不是健康或安全专家，他喜欢看到东西着火或者爆炸，换言之他并没有把你的首要利...

评分如果要用一个词来定义这本书，我会认为是“好奇心”。 不知道从什么时候开始，好奇的都是诸如办公室八卦、朋友间的绯闻动态，或者是一些明星、行业领袖的新闻。 而一些更“幼稚”的问题，比如天空有多高、有人在星星上生活吗，已经甚少提及，到底是什么时候我们学会了不再提问...

还行吧，作者有点刻意卖弄的感觉
评分yay! 终于在 2015 来到之前读完了！

评分5月20日下的单，啃到前天才读完。不是特别吸引人，毕竟是科普没有剧情，但作者已经写得非常有趣，漫画的幽默总是让人会心一笑。英文版看不懂的地方有不少，很多词词典查不到，有些幽默的部分和提到人名地名的部分，由于文化差异很难有共鸣。选择回答的问题可能大多适合美国人脑洞大开的口味，我个人的话看完之后受到震撼留下印象的信息很少。感觉这本书对综合知识和数理基础深厚的或者科学从业者来说会更有启发和趣味。
