Discworld 33 - Going Postal by Terry Pratchett - 11 of 11 Episodes

Going Postal is Terry Pratchett [https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Terry_Pratchett]'s 33rd Discworld [https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/Discworld] novel, released in the United Kingdom on September 25, 2004. Unusually for a Discworld novel (other than the children's books and The Science of Discworlds [https://discworld.fandom.com/wiki/The_Science_of_Discworld]) Going Postal and its sequels are divided into chapters. These chapters begin with a synopsis of philosophical themes, in a similar manner to some Victorian novels and, notably, to Jules Verne stories. The book has been interpreted as a satirical attack on right-wing libertarianism in general and a parody of the writings of Ayn Rand [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayn_Rand] in particular. The name comes from the expression 'going postal [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/going_postal]'.The book was on the shortlist for the Nebula Award for Best Novel. It would also have been shortlisted for the Hugo Award for Best Novel, except that Pratchett withdrew it, as he felt stress over the award would mar his enjoyment of the Worldcon[1] [http://news.ansible.co.uk/a218.html][2] [http://www.nicholaswhyte.info/sf/Hugo2005.htm]. This was the first time Pratchett had been shortlisted for either award.
