Descubre ¿cuál es la velocidad máxima a la que puedes volarte un tope y sobrevivir? ¿Qué pasaría si trataras de batear una pelota lanzada a 90 por ciento de la velocidad de la luz? ¿Cuándo tendrá Facebook más perfiles de personas muertas que de personas vivas? Las respuestas que encuentra el autor son obras maestras de la claridad y lo hilarante, complementadas con dibujos al más puro estilo de su célebre cómic.
From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask. Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion. The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with updated and expanded versions of the most popular answers from the xkcd website. What If? will be required reading for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.
