Ben Goldacre is a nerd royalty, known for his laugh-out-loud funny books and columns. Bill Gates is a totally brilliant entrepreneur and philanthropist, who has made significant contributions to technology and society. Tim Harford is a renowned economist and author, known for his insightful and thought-provoking books on economics and social issues.

What if you still had so many more strange questions about the universe? What if Randall Munroe, former NASA roboticist and xkcd creator, were prepared to move mountains, fill the solar system with soup, and alter the space-time continuum to answer them? Whether it's how to make a lava lamp out of lava or feeding the inhabitants of New York to a T. Rex, welcome to the weird, wonderful (and sometimes terrifying) world of WHAT IF?

In this book, Goldacre, Gates, and Harford take on a range of fascinating and mind-bending questions. From the science of happiness to the nature of time and space, they explore the possibilities and limitations of our understanding of the world. With their wit, wisdom, and scientific expertise, they offer a fresh perspective on the mysteries of the universe and inspire us to think beyond the boundaries of what we know.

WHAT IF is a must-read for anyone who loves science, humor, and thought-provoking ideas. It will challenge your assumptions, expand your horizons, and leave you wondering what else is out there in the vast and mysterious universe.
