Description

A tongue-in-cheek guide to the science of comic-book supervillainy, revealing the potential of today's most advanced technologies. In "How to Take Over the World", Ryan North details a number of outlandish villainous schemes, drawing on known science and real-world technologies. North's explanations are as fun and informative as they are completely absurd, covering topics such as the perfect location for a floating secret base, zany heist funding, and controlling the weather. Along the way, he also reveals how to mitigate climate change, improve human life spans, prevent cyberterrorism, and make some of the most ambitious scientific projects a reality. By exploring the greatest challenges and existential threats facing humanity, North offers a unique perspective on the science of villainy and the potential for positive change.
