其实这书是科幻创作，只不过形式不是小说而是 Q&A，漫画也好玩。重度中二病成真时会发生什么？也可以从这书得到很好的解答，比如地球逆转，亚光速打击棒球，核池沐浴，人工月亮照明，元素墙，封印一摩尔鼹鼠的地爆天星，无限热源，机关枪引擎，浮空术，次真空玻璃杯，DNS 衰变，尤达之力，中子风暴，箭・日食，中子接触。其他的只是数学问题，看完估计就忘了。

From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask.
Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe’s iconic webcomic. His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have a large and passionate following.
Fans of xkcd ask Munroe a lot of strange questions. What if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light? How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last?
In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity, complemented by signature xkcd comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.
The book features new and never-before-answered questions, along with updated and expanded versions of the most popular answers from the xkcd website. What If? will be required reading for xkcd fans and anyone who loves to ponder the hypothetical.
