The Science of Discworld II: The Globe
The Science of Discworld · Book 2Description
In this second installment of the Science of Discworld series, the wizards of Unseen University—having once created Roundworld—turn their attention to the people who now inhabit it, only to find that history is never static and that competing forces are already shaping human society. As elves press their claim to influence culture and belief, the wizards must navigate the tangled origins of the human mind, language, art, and science, all while confronting the shifting boundaries between Good and Evil. Blending Terry Pratchett’s signature wit with the explanatory power of acclaimed science writers, the book offers a high-level, imaginative tour through how ideas evolve and how our understanding of the world is continually rewritten. Part playful fantasy, part intellectual inquiry, it invites readers to see the familiar universe—our own included—as something constructed, contested, and endlessly reinterpreted.
