I enjoyed it a lot. Check out https://what-if.xkcd.com/ to get a feel for what it is like. The book contains about 50 of his articles, over 1/2 are new although I am not sure exactly how many. Good book for when you only have a few minutes to read.

Changing gears and looking forward to May/June's book club, does anyone have a good pair of books to look into for the Science Fiction and Science Non-Fiction months? I am hoping we can choose a science fiction book and then a book that delves into a real aspect of the hook for that science fiction book.

For example, if we choose The Martian by Andy Weir for May (great book but lots of people have already finished it) we could then choose Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach for June and be able to tie the two together.
