Have you ever wondered what would happen in zombies attacked?  If so, this is the book for you.  The book is split into eight chapters: You First, Wonders of the World, Second Nature, Time Warped, Tech Checked, Natural Wonders, Worst-Case Scenarios, and Reality Chucked.  The breadth of what is covered ranges from prehensile tails to wielding the Force.  Each topic is given a two-page spread with bright pictures, sound scientific information, and a section of Could It Happen?   What if cars drove themselves?  According to the author, Crispin Boyer, this could happen in the near future.  You could use your smartphone to summon an auto-taxi.  The format and style of this book make it an enjoyable read for just a page or two on a specific topic of interest, or to sit in a comfortable chair (or throne if you’re related to royalty—pages 152-3) to read it cover to cover.
