Sir Terry Pratchett’s _Reaper Man_ offered that snow globes were effectively seeds for dispersing awareness of new cities / malls.


As well as presciently introducing the "almost letters" text that is now commonly seen in AI-generated image content...

One wonders what kind of excellent discworld books we would have gotten had Sir Terry still been around in the age of AI...


That book has one of my favorite quotes, "What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man?"

I don't know why but that brings me to the verge of tears when I read it.
