The unfinished books of Sir Terry Pratchett have been destroyed by a steamroller, following the late fantasy novelist’s wishes.

Pratchett’s hard drive was crushed by a vintage John Fowler & Co steamroller named Lord Jericho at the Great Dorset Steam Fair, ahead of the opening of a new exhibition about the author’s life and work.

I hope they cloned it before they crushed it . . .

They're his books, I think his wishes should be respected.

sounds like a challenge. drop off the remains at the NSA and wait for someone to hack/leak the data.

Who needs paper shredders when there are steamrollers?!

Strange wish, I wonder if there other kinds of files that he didn't want to be seen other than what he was supposedly working on.
