Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the chuck keys for electric drills.

The Art of Collaboration: Part 1 - Discworld Emporium
In which we learn that the Emporium (the official shop for Discworld related products) is anti-AI : > “In this Artificial Intelligence-flooded and art-theft riddled world it is increasingly important to celebrate those real artists, and pay tribute to the talented creatives that have helped us bring Discworld to life over the years.” And it’s a good opportunity to learn a bit more about the artists behind the original products they create all year long to bring freshness to their shop.
Oh dear, I'm feeling political today. It's just that it's dawned on me that 'zero tolerance' only seems to mean putting extra police in poor, run-down areas, and not in the Stock Exchange.

The book stars breakout character the Librarian - a former wizard transformed into an orangutan, who can travel between worlds via secret shortcuts found within bookshelves.
