Review
In this book Randall Munroe uses line drawings and simple explanations
to describe interesting stuff. The stuff includes: food-heating radio boxes
(microwaves), tall roads (bridges), computer buildings (datacenters),
shared space house (the International Space Station), other worlds
around the sun (the solar system), flat rocks we live on (tectonic plates)
and the bags of stuff inside you (cells). The book goes into how
this stuff works and where it comes from? Also, it goes into what
would life be like without them.
