“Whatever you do in the past will change the future. The smallest actions have huge consequences. Now you can step on an ant and that can completely stop you. someone born in the future.”
There’s nothing like evolutionary matter to get under the skin of scholars. Especially when those same scholars accidentally or misjudged were brought into an important evolutionary turning point when one wrong move could lead to dire consequences for the future.

Unfortunately, in the hands of such an incompetent and reviled group of individuals, sadly, the sensitive issue of causation is only likely to receive as little respect as they have for one another.

Rincewind finds herself never dreaming of the final continent on Discworld, one still under construction. Filled with satire and humor aimed at 1980s Australiaa, this Discworld novel is suitable for anyone, not just Australians. Full of references to Australian music, movies, slang and stereotypes, it’s fun for everyone.
