One of the leading educational channels on YouTube has added its literary contribution to shelves. Canadians Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown, who run the AsapSCIENCE channel on YouTube, have released their first book, titled AsapSCIENCE: Answers to the World’s Weirdest Questions, Most Persistent Rumors, and Unexplained Phenomena.
The book, published by Scribner, is available on Amazon, where in the first day of its availability, it has already sold plenty of copies. At the time of this post, it is the #1 Biology book on Amazon; on that list, it is an entertaining foil to the AP guidebook in the #2 slot.
The AsapSCIENCE book explores the same sort of questions Moffit and Brown regularly tackle on their YouTube channel. One topic within the book’s pages, for example, is the science of hangovers; that has previously been the subject of two separate AsapSCIENCE videos.
Moffit and Brown’s promotional tour has taken them to SXSW in Austin and the YouTube Space in New York. What’s next? From the sound of it, more of the same: “We want to make science cool,” they told the Toronto Star. “We want to make it something that people spend their free time absorbing. We want to increase the capacity to do that.”
