Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words by Randall Munroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love the conceit of this book – fun graphics explaining scientific and physical phenomenon with a limited word set.
That said – I generally do like complex books with a varied and specific vocabulary.
Wonderful as an exercise, and I think I might experiment a little with Simple Writer, a tool he has for composing writing using the same limited word set.
