What If - By Randall Munroe - Book Review

First Line: Nearly everyone would die.

Book Review:

This book is a collection of serious and well researched scientific answers to some absurd hypothetical questions. Not only did he answer those questions with beauty and clarity, but also he managed to convince the readers with his scientific explanations.

What If - By Randall Munroe - Book Review

In his scientific explanations, the author takes the readers on a ride from ground to sky, from earth to space and from science to mathematics and even history and geography. Some of the interesting page titles that are in this book include “What if a baseball which is thrown at ninety percent speed of light is hit?, How high a human can throw something?” and much more.

Being from a science (Information Technology) background, I found this book highly interesting and addictive. Although I can guarantee that people from any background will find this book extremely interesting.

The answers in the book are so convincing that they really make the book a perfect page turner. If that’s not enough, there’s a second part of this book as well, named “What If 2”.
