Here is some great news about Terry Pratchett’s next (as yet unpublished novel), UNSEEN ACADEMICALS. It is the “soccer novel” with a “realistic” Romeo and Juliet story woven through. Pratchett on the Romeo and Juliet story:
You have to watch the video interview, the text interview is not about UNSEEN ACADEMICALS. Terry Pratchett from HarperCollins Publishers .  Now 2/3 through. Definitely going to finish. Mind-bending array of clone families, dangerous AIs, and distributed consciousnesses. (Although Terry Pratchett’s Granny Weatherwax thought of the latter twist first …) I hate imagined futures where regular humans are vastly outnumbered by new types of clones and AIs. I don’t get the narcissistic appeal of having millions of versions of myself spanning future time and space. My genome has its good points, but I’d certainly want to take another roll of the dice to see if we can come up without a model that has the severe myopia, the short temper, the designed-to-fail knees, and the recessive alcoholism, depression and hypothyroidism, among other things … #scifi @torbooks I won’t be reading this because I hate all vampire books. I think vampire stories are inherently sadistic and wrongly fascinated with power and control. I recommend that all vampire fans read Terry Pratchett’s funny, frightneing, and wise CARPE JUGULUM, which should put their love of the vampire to rest forever. With a stake through its heart.
