#GNUTerryPratchett Got a shout out today on #Radio4's "You're Dead To Me"(A comedy history series Iβd recommend) referencing the #DiscWorld book #InterestingTimes and its references to the #RoundWorld Terracotta Army.

So it seems #GNUTerryPratchett should have got the Nobel Hat-trick
Obviously the Boots essay should have got the echognomics(If i have my Trob translation rightπ ) one.
The quoted post below by Drew shows he should have had the physics one.
And of course some of us more fanatical fans have also accused him of literature on occasions.

@rdm insisted I post this even though it was drawn in about 10 seconds with my finger.
He likes the immediacy.

Well, I put the telescope out last night and targeted the Keyhole Nebula. Now, I don't know about you but this looks like Great A'Tuin, Sir Terry's marvelous astrochelonian, is checking on a star cluster nest of eggs.
May Sir Terry rest in peace and know that he's loved. I met him a few times, a wonderful soul he lit up a room like a gentle nebula himself!

One for #GNUTerryPratchett fans who also have a fondness for our Orangutan cousins over the years I have come across several things in #Discworld books that you would initially think of being from pTerry's fantasy imagination but turned out to be references to weird #RoundWorld realities he picked up in his wide ranging reading research but I am not sure if some of his fans in the science community named the librarian Long Call after his death or if it was named before & it made it into the Long Earth series & we only now are beginning to understand the recursive complexities in the language of a fellow ape & he extrapolated it early. Anyway some in the above Venn diagram of interests might enjoy the #SciShow linked below.

As you cropped up in my feed via #discworld tag you might appreciate the Reading order guide for it ‡οΈ
& IIRC The short story Theatre of Cruelty is still available for free on lspace.org by permission of pTerry who also added bits to the Troll Bridge fan film which was made into an excellent short film available on youtube
