Beschreibung
For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. This is a guide to the third approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. From the bestselling author of "What If?".

Autorenportrait
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.
