Terry Pratchett’s unfinished books destroyed by a steamroller
What’s your dying wish? Renowned fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett’s was to have his uncompleted books destroyed by a steamroller, and that finally happened at a fair last week, reports The Guardian. The works were stored on Pratchett’s hard drive, which was destroyed by a vintage steamroller named Lord Jericho at the Great Dorset Steam Fair. Pratchett is known for his comic fantasy work including Discworld, Good Omens, and Nation, and died at the age of 66 in 2015 after fighting Alzheimer’s disease.
As with many modern day events, the steamrolling was live-tweeted by the man who manages the Pratchett estate, Rob Wilkins.
