Description
This monograph contends that attending to Pratchett*s work could help to save our world. It draws attention to the astonishing capacity of Pratchett*s novels to inspire and argues that Pratchett*s fantasy novels directly address many of the most significant challenges people in the world face: the explosion of weapons technology; the myriad issues involved in the envelopment of human life by corporatized information technology; the destructive human inattention to, and interactions with, the Earth and its life forms; and the problem of devalued labor. Paradoxically, it is Pratchett*s choice of fantasy that lets him address the reality of major issues that humanity and the rest of life confront now. Pratchett*s novels show us how to better understand and confront the problems the world is contending with. The book will interest both scholars and fans.
