NAMED A BEST NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE
"Comic book fans will fall hard for this delightfully daffy guidebook. .
. . Exuberant, optimistic, and just plain fun, How to Take Over the
World will both surprise and delight." --Esquire
A book this informative should be a crime!**
**
Taking over the world is a lot of work. Any supervillain is bound to
have questions: What's the perfect location for a floating secret base?
What zany heist will fund my wildly ambitious plans? How do I control
the weather, destroy the internet, and never, ever die?
Bestselling author and award-winning comics writer Ryan North has the
answers. In this introduction to the science of comic-book
supervillainy, he details a number of outlandish villainous schemes that
harness the potential of today's most advanced technologies. Picking up
where How to Invent Everything left off, his explanations are as fun
and elucidating as they are completely absurd.
You don't have to be a criminal mastermind to share a supervillain's
interest in cutting-edge science and technology. This book doesn't just
reveal how to take over the world--it also shows how you could save it.
This sly guide to some of the greatest threats facing humanity
accessibly explores emerging techniques to extend human life spans,
combat cyberterrorism, communicate across millennia, and finally make
Jurassic Park a reality.
