What people on Hacker News said
"Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words" - Extremely enjoyable. People here certainly are aware of xkcd and it's type of humor.
Thing Explainer is fantastic. Some of the best presentations of complicated ideas I've ever seen.
I've just bought this for my son in the hope that it will encourage him to actually read something rather than always look stuff up on YouTube.
