That really is an absurd hypothetical question. Gotta listen to the book to find out the answer.

This is a great book and translates surprisingly well to audiobook. Buy it at this price.

I gave this book to my brother-in-law for Christmas last year. There are lots of humorous illustrations. I'm not sure how well this translates to audiobook.

Digital alternative is available on /r/askscience and /r/nostupidquestions and I'm betting there's a fair bit of overlap.

Oh I didn't know there was a recall on the Bolt. The EUV is pretty nice though!Glad to see they reduced its prices. Hoping for federal tax credit to start again in 2023.

Yep, it was issued back in 2021. If you happen to have a 2020 or later Bolt and are just finding out about the recall, PM me and I can help you take advantage of it. Huge opportunity to milk the recall right now with GM.

Sorry to go off topic.

I bought this book back in 2015. I even bought another copy to give away.

I agree that it may not translate well to audiobook, but then, it's Wil Wheaton. I thoroughly enjoyed his audiobook rendition of Ready Player One. Note that the audiobook is available as a free borrow through hoopla and your local library: https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11163533

The book's sequel is now out: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09RWY83WG

And here's a comic flowchart to pique your interest: https://xkcd.com/2672/

Definitely get either the print version or the Kindle version instead. You really miss out on the illustrations which IMO really makes the book. The illustrations are informative and funny just like you'd expect from Randall Munroe.

I have the Kindle version as well and although it's in black and white and the illustrations are smaller/sometimes hard to read, it's still a good version of the book.
