Full steam ahead! Terry Pratchett

In the city of Ankh-Morpork, under the strict supervision of the patrician Lord Vetinari, a revolutionary steam engine appears. The former scoundrel (now a civil servant) Wet von Lipwig is given the task of laying the railway, taming the technological revolution and putting in order numerous intrigues: from the bureaucracy and the interests of numerous dexterous people - to fanatical opponents of modernization among the traditionalist dwarves. Discworld enters the era of steam, but behind technology there are always people, their fears and ambitions. With incredible humor, Terry Pratchett reflects on what progress means, whether it is always useful, how technology changes society, and vice versa.
