2025-03-08

This essay contrasts the worldviews presented in *The Lord of the Rings* and Terry Pratchett's *Discworld* series. It argues that *Lord of the Rings*, while a great story, offers a simplistic, deterministic view of technology and society unsuitable for a technologically advanced species.
