书籍简介

世界上最有趣和最无用的自我帮助指南，来自疯狂流行的网络漫画xkcd和百万销量的《如果》和《事情的解释》背后的杰出头脑。

对于你可能想要做的任何任务，都有一个正确的方法，一个错误的方法，以及一个糟糕到没有人愿意尝试的方法。How To是一个关于第三种方法的指南。它充满了非常不切实际的建议，从降落飞机到挖洞，无所不包。

The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the million-selling What If? and Thing Explainer

For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.

作者简介

兰德尔-门罗是网络漫画《xkcd》的创作者，也是《如果》、《事情的解释》和《xkcd》的畅销作者。第0卷。兰德尔出生在宾夕法尼亚州的伊斯顿，在弗吉尼亚州的里士满郊外长大。在克里斯托弗-纽波特大学学习物理学后，他在美国宇航局兰利研究中心找到了一份制造机器人的工作。2006年，他离开NASA，全职在互联网上画漫画，此后三次被提名为雨果奖得主。国际天文学联盟最近以他的名字命名了一颗小行星：小行星4942 Munroe足够大，如果它撞上像地球这样的行星，会造成大规模的灭绝。

Randall Munroe is the creator of the webcomic xkcd and bestselling author of What If?, Thing Explainer and xkcd: Volume 0. Randall was born in Easton, Pennsylvania, and grew up outside Richmond, Virginia. After studying physics at Christopher Newport University, he got a job building robots at NASA Langley Research Center. In 2006 he left NASA to draw comics on the internet full time, and has since been nominated for a Hugo Award three times. The International Astronomical Union recently named an asteroid after him: asteroid 4942 Munroe is big enough to cause mass extinction if it ever hits a planet like Earth.
