Description
The Science of Discworld by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, and Jack Cohen is an original story that explores the creation of our universe. When a wizardly experiment goes awry, the wizards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket universe on their hands: Roundworld, which is actually Earth. As they watch their accidental creation grow, we follow the story from the Big Bang to the internet and beyond. Through this unique narrative, we discover how individual lives are insignificant against a cosmic backdrop of creation and disaster. The book reveals how a universe based on rules has led to a complex world and at least one species that tried to make sense of it all. This thought-provoking story is part of the Science of Discworld series. The book features contributions from acclaimed authors Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, and Jack Cohen, who bring their expertise in science and storytelling to create an engaging and informative read.
