Pratchett takes the Discworld from fantasy to SciFi. The book delves into the question "If I was going to build an actual Disc World, how would I do it?" The book was actually written prior to the Discworld series.

It is a good read with likable characters. It has, of course, Pratchett's biting satire on religion and human nature in general. The addition of two aliens is a good vehicle for injecting comments on humans from an alien perspective. The humor is up to Pratchett's standards and the book will give quite a few good chuckles.
