Xkcd fans take note: After "What if?" now the world's most original "self-help guide" by Randall Munroe!For every task we face, there is a right way, a wrong way, and one so patently absurd that you would never consider it. "How to" is a guide to this third approach. It shows us how to send digital data by attaching USB sticks to migratory birds. How to jump-start our car by waiting eleven years for a solar flare. How we find out whether we belong to the baby boomer generation or are a child of the nineties - namely, by having the radioactivity of our teeth measured. And we learn how we can finally get to appointments on time: by destroying the moon for a change. With his famous line drawings, Randall Munroe explains how simple problems can be solved in the most difficult way. Like his bestseller "What if?", "How to" is funny and horizon-expanding, and helps us understand the scientific and technical phenomena that underlie our everyday lives.
