> A notorious offender is Terry Pratchett's Discworld The wording implies an offense has been committed, but this is not the case. For one, because it's false: progress happens in book in Discworld. There's a series of "industry/progress" novels that illustrate change in the Discworld. But also, because the timelessness of Discworld is what makes it appealing. With some exceptions, you can read a lot of the novels in any order. This makes them good, not bad.
