The truth will out, or at least it's going to try to, any minute. New printing technology means that words just won't obediently stay nailed down like usual. They can now be taken apart and used to make other words. Which is downright dangerous. There's a very real threat of news getting out there. Of people finding out what's really going on. And the powers that be aren't happy - they want that to be far from the truth.
If they are to call a halt to this madness of free speech, they may have to succumb to their despotic tendencies. But will they, in this brave new world, still be able to have the last word?

No one mixes the fantastical and mundane to better comic effect of offers sharper insights into the absurdities of human endeavour
- Daily Mail
He would be amusing in any form, and his spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction
