Another great book by Randall Munroe. Original, well-thought-out, and still amusing.

"What If 2" came out in September 2022. I was fortunate enough to pick it up on sale April 2023 for $2. In December 2020 I also picked up "How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Real-World Problems for the same price. All are great hilarious books for the nerd in us. Highly recommended.

I listened to the audiobook version of this and loved it. When you own the kindle versions of books, it discounts the audio versions. Don't know what the price drops to as that wasn't my situation here, but it's worth looking into. If you don't mind Will Wheaton

Already have a couple copies of this book but it's hilarious. I love learning and laughing, so Randall Munroe books are awesome to me. Anyone with a mind for science will love it!

Is that auction site seriously banned even from being mentioned in comments?? I can at least somewhat understand banning "competing" CB sites, but the auction site??

Just put a hold on this (physical) book at my local library. They have the newer #2 edition too, but I want to pace myself.

Is this kid-friendly?

I have a 9 yr old who asks the weirdest hypothetical questions so thought this would be great but not if it's more for adults.

There's all kinds of kids books with a "what if?" theme, for example these listed on Amazon:

Depends on the kid but yes my 10 year old was fascinated with this when it came out. Totally fun and goofy questions that children would ask and he does the math to give you answers
