In Going Postal, Pratchett approached the seemingly uncongenial subject of the founding of the post office in Discworld fashion, digging up historical truths that seem more absurd than the usual author's farcical inventions. These Golems' chem is baked into their bodies, not written on paper, and so they cannot be freed. When brought to the city, much is questioned about what to do with them. The latest novel in the Discworld cycle is so on-the-nose and up-to-the-minute in its subject than you can't help speculating that Pratchett has been booking restaurant tables very near Mervyn King and passing notes saying: "Northern Rock in a bit of bother, eh?" before standing outside branches advising account-holders not to panic. In Making Money, 4000 golems are found by the Golem trust, headed by Adore Belle Dearheart. ![]()
