How To: Absurd Scientific Advice

How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems
By: Randall Munroe

I think “entertaining and useless” is an accurate description of this book!

Some of the science and terminology went over my head but I still learned a lot.

And saw an incredible video of a massive landslide.

My curiosity did not go un-piqued throughout the whole book.

Munroe is intelligent and witty. His illustrations are on point and footnotes hilarious!

He covers scenarios like: how to have a pool party, how to play tag, how to dig a hole, how to charge your phone, how to get somewhere fast, etc. There’s a little bit of everything.

I do think I liked his book ‘What If’ a little better, but this was a close second. He better keep writing books like this!

Even if you’re not a self-proclaimed science enthusiast, reading this book might have you second guessing whether you should be studying science after all! Well at least absurd and useless science we all need but didn’t know it...
