Started What If? by Randall Munroe.

It’s by the guy who runs / draws xkcd.com web comics, and gives serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions. For example: Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?

Questions are weird like that, but the science is real, so an interesting read. Specially if you are a fan of xkcd.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    Currently reading All That We See Or Seem by Ken Liu. I’m a pretty big fan of his, I’ve read a lot of his short stories, but this is the first novel I’ve read. The pacing is great and I feel it’s pretty relevant to things going on in current times. I’m about halfway through and probably going to finish it over the weekend.

    I finished Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik and I loved it. I’ll definitely be reading the next 2 in the trilogy.
