Randall Munroe
September 8, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeHow To (Riverhead) is the world’s most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from Randall Munroe, the brilliant mind behind xkcd, the wildly popular webcomic. For any task you might want to do, there’s a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach, full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. As he did in What If?, the bestselling author and cartoonist invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible.
