| book description |

This monograph contends that attending to Pratchettâ€™s work could help to save our world. It draws attention to the astonishing capacity of Pratchettâ€™s novels to inspire and argues that Pratchettâ€™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 Pratchettâ€™s choice of fantasy that lets him address the reality of major issues that humanity and the rest of life confront now. Pratchettâ€™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.
