The Science of Discworld II: The Globe

The planet Earth has picked up a parasitic life form - Elves. They are after our future and must be stopped... but by who?

Enter the wizards of Unseen University who, in the first Science of Discworld book, 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 Science of Discworld II: The Globe weaves together a fast-paced Discworld novelette with cutting-edge scientific commentary on the development of the human mind, culture, language, art and science. The result is a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world we live in.
