The Science of Discworld II - The Globe
It's not Terry Pratchett's latest, and while it's technically a Discworld novel, the alternating chapeters are by Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen - they write the science bit. I skipped the science bit. I wanted to be entertained. I didn't really want to ponder - I wanted Ponder. ;-) Here's what the inside flap says: "The planet Earth has picked up a parasite life form - elves. They get everywhere. And they like humans to be superstitious, fearful and frightened of thunder. They're after our future and must be stopped ... but by who? Enter the wizards of the Unseen University who, in the best-selling The Science of Discworld unwittingly created Earth and our own universe. At the time they quite failed to notice humanity. (Well, we've only been around for a million years, so we're easily overlooked ...) But now, at last they've found us." The Discworld novel within this novel is as usual, hilarious! The science and philosophy will make you ponder (sorry!). Excellent novel!
