What If? 2: Additional Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

One of my favorite things about the upcoming What If 2 (http://xkcd.com/whatif2) it is that it shows how questions from kids often lead to more catastrophic scenarios than questions from adults, even when the adults are clearly trying really hard to create catastrophic scenarios.

Gretchen told me I would like the Steerswoman novels by @rkirstein, but that she couldn’t explain why they were up my alley without spoiling the plot. Now that I’ve read them (four books, starting with The Steerswoman), I’m recommending them to my friends the same way. https://t.co/rSIxnCmLLz
