So, Small Gods is one of your favourite Pratchett noevls? Mine too! Have you read his latest (non Discworld) novel, Nation ?Steve: I have read all of Pratchett's works for years. Nation took a while to draw me in, and I think I will enjoy it more on a second read sometime in the future.For the benefit of readers who don't know about , I'm not going to attempt an explanation here. However, the gods in that land exist in power and physical presence in proportion to the number of believers. Small Gods are those whose followers dwindled down to, at worst, one.The obvious parallel is that any religion is as powerful as the collective might of its adherents. The violence or benificence any god metes out is directly proportional to the number of believers and how they choose to deal with the rest of the world.The god of transit advertising will be mildly amused to receive contributions from those claiming he might not exist, and will go back to installing video screens.
