Randall Munroe left NASA in 2005 to start up his hugely popular site XKCD ‘a web comic of romance, sarcasm, math and language’ which offers a witty take on the world of science and geeks. It’s had over a billion page hits to date. A year ago Munroe set up a new section - What If - where he tackles a series of impossible questions: If your cells suddenly lost the power to divide, how long would you survive? How dangerous is it, really, in a pool in a thunderstorm? If we hooked turbines to people exercising in gyms, how much power could we produce? What if everyone only had one soulmate? From what height would you need to drop a steak to ensure it was cooked by the time it reached the ground? What would happen if the moon went away? This book gathers together the best entries along with lots of new gems. From The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek and the songs of Tim Minchin, through chemistry, geography and physics, Munroe leaves no stone unturned in his quest for knowledge. And his answers are witty and memorable and studded with hilarious cartoons and infographics. Far more than a book for geeks, WHAT IF explains the laws of science in operation in a way that every intelligent reader will enjoy and feel the smarter for having read.

Looks great! The tipping factor for me to snag this is Wil Wheaton is the narrator.

This looks great, and thanks a bunch for the effort, but is there any chance of a better quality version?

Hello Barely.
The quality is as it came, nut a little tweaking with a graphic equaliser, which most players have, will make it sound fine. Just give it more bass and mid-range.

Edit: That should be “just” not “nut.” ;-D
September 11th, 2014
Haha okay, nut a problem. =)

I just hate tyyyypos, don’t you? :-D

I for one hate typos. like that time Barely used your typo to made a typo of his own, i think. “Nut a problem” your typo makes it “just a problem” where it is i think Barely was trying to type “not a problem” Anyways!!! thanks for this upload, it’s a great book.

Wish I didn’t have to download this. I love XKCD, but alas, this audiobook isn’t realeased in all countries.
That said. Awesome book, listen to it, then I recommend buying it if you can, or otherwise just donate to mr. Munroe. He deserves that for writing this.
