Descriere

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
From the creator of the wildly popular xkcd.com, hilarious and informative answers to
important questions you probably never thought to ask.
Millions visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. Fans ask him
a lot of strange questions: How fast can you hit a speed bump, driving, and live? When (if
ever) did the sun go down on the British Empire? When will Facebook contain more
profiles of dead people than living? How many humans would a T Rex rampaging through
New York need to eat a day?
In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of
declassified military research memos, solves differential equations and consults nuclear
reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented
by comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really
big explosion.


Notă biografică

Randall Munroe is the creator of the webcomic xkcd and bestselling author of What If?,
Thing Explainer and xkcd: Volume 0. Randall was born in Easton, Pennsylvania, and grew
up outside Richmond, Virginia. After studying physics at Christopher Newport University,
he got a job building robots at NASA Langley Research Center. In 2006 he left NASA to
draw comics on the internet full time, and has since been nominated for a Hugo Award
three times. The International Astronomical Union recently named an asteroid after him:
asteroid 4942 Munroe is big enough to cause mass extinction if it ever hits a planet like
Earth.
