"What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions"
by Randall Monroe
One of the most enjoyable books I've read all year. Monroe looks at the craziest scenarios and attempts to answer each in incisive and complete detail, usually to a disastrous end. His style is hilarious and very readable, as befits a scientist-turned-webcomic. The book was read by Will Wheaton, as well, which made it even better. This one is going to end up near the top of my favorites from the year.
