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 immoral plans? How do I control the weather, destroy the internet, and never, ever die? In How to Take Over the World, bestselling author and award-winning comics writer Ryan North details a number of outlandish villainous schemes, drawing on known science and real-world technologies. Picking up where How to Invent Everything left off, his explanations are as fun and informative as they are completely absurd. As he instructs readers on how to take over the world, North also reveals how we can save it. This sly guide to some of the greatest challenges and existential threats facing humanity accessibly explores ways to mitigate climate change, improve human life spans, prevent cyberterrorism, and finally make Jurassic Park a reality"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 369-375) and index. 650 0 $a Science. 650 0 $a Supervillains. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $v Humor. 700 1 $a Monardo, Carly, $d 1984- $e illustrator. 941 $a 17 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024016.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231205013112.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111011118.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230404014832.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230221011315.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20221208010220.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20220929012651.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804025141.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20220708012914.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20220702010334.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20220630012654.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220514010903.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220510011741.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220507010327.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220503071456.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220316010148.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220309010115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95B638689F7611ECBC2E855C59ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
