內容簡介

From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, surprising answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask

Millions of people around the world 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?
What would happen if someone’s DNA vanished?

His responses are comic gems, accurately and entertainingly explaining everything from your odds of meeting your soul mate to the many horrible ways you could die while building a periodic table out of all the actual elements.

This book features the most popular answers from the xkcd’s What If blog, but many of the questions (51 percent!) are new and answered here for the first time. What If? is an informative feast for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.

　　《那些古怪又讓人憂心的問題what if？》是前NASA員工、超熱門科普漫畫“xkcd”作傢蘭德爾·門羅的新作，內容來自他的“What If”科學問答專欄，輔以“xkcd”經典火柴人漫畫，輕鬆幽默地將各學科知識躍然紙上。
　　如果人體內的DNA瞬間消失瞭會怎樣？如果把海水抽乾會怎樣？如果地球膨脹得像太陽一樣大會怎樣？牛排從多高的地方掉下來正好烤熟？全人類搬離地球需要幾步？這不是中規中矩的《十萬個為什麼》，而是腦洞大開的科學真相，小時候萌生的異想天開，都可以在這本書裏找到最機智幽默的科學答案！

精彩書評

Praise for Randall Munroe and xkcd:
"By speaking the language of geeks. . . while dealing with relationships and the meaning of a computer-centric life, xkcd has become required reading for techies across the world….The Internet has also created a bond between Mr. Munroe and his readers that is exceptional. They reenact in real life the odd ideas he puts forward in his strip."
—The New York Times

"With his steady regimen of math jokes, physics jokes, and antisocial optimism, xkcd creator Randall Munroe, a former NASA roboticist, scores traffic numbers in NBC.com or Oprah.com territory. One key to the strip’s success may be that it doesn’t just comment on nerd culture, it embodies nerd culture."
—Wired, in an issue featuring "the people who have shaped the planet’s past 20 years"

"Sometimes the beloved geek-chic webcomic xkcd is funny in a broadly accessible way. Sometimes it’s achingly poignant, sometimes it’s socially intelligent, and sometimes it’s esoteric humor that programmers or scientists have to explain to the rest of us. But at its most ambitious, it either packs massive amounts of interesting information into a small space, or engages in breathtaking experiments with the medium….[A]t its best [xkcd] isn’t a strip comic so much as an idea factory and a shared experience."
—Onion AV Club
