A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Non-Fiction is a landmark collection of Terry Pratchett’s essays, speeches, and articles that reveals the man behind the Discworld novels. Unlike his short fiction collection, A Blink of the Screen , this work captures Pratchett's transition from a "scribbling intruder" in journalism to a globally recognized advocate for human dignity. The book is structured into three thematic sections that track the evolution of his voice and his growing sense of social responsibility.
