________________
This amusing and interesting book is a collection of answers to hypothetical questions submitted to the author thorough his cartoon website. The author is a physicist who used to work on robotics for NASA before becoming a cartoonist. So the science is pretty spot on and the illustrations are amusing. However, I found most of the questions did not appeal to me. The few questions that I did find interesting (e.g. what would happen if you drained the ocean) where well written with a sense of humour and informative comic illustrations. To obtain a good idea of what the book is like, I recommend taking a look at the author's website: https://what-if.xkcd.com/archive/
