Alright, buckle up buttercups, because apparently, "time management" isn't just about color-coding your Google Calendar. It's a full-blown cosmic gig, and on Discworld, it's handled by the Monks of History, who are basically time-hoarders. Think of them as the intergalactic Tupperware party hosts, except instead of leftovers, they're storing time. And their specialty? Siphoning it away from places where it's clearly being squandered, like... underwater. I mean, come on, how long does a codfish really need to ponder the existential dread of being a codfish?
Now, because nothing says "impending doom" like a shiny new gadget, someone's gone and built the world's most accurate clock. Which, naturally, isn't going to tell time. It's going to stop it. Because that's just how Discworld rolls. So, Lu-Tze, the history monk who's basically time's grumpy old babysitter, and his apprentice, Lobsang Ludd, who probably loses his keys in the temporal equivalent of the couch cushions, are now in a frantic footrace against... well, time itself.
And just to spice things up, this little time-stopping shindig comes with the usual Discworld chaos: heroes who are mostly just confused, villains who are probably just misunderstood (or not), yetis who are just trying to find a decent ice cream vendor, martial artists who can fold laundry with their bare hands, and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse, who bailed before the band got big. Because even the end of the world has its drama queens.
