| Why it’s on the list | A comic apocalypse by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman: the Antichrist has been misplaced in the English home counties, the prophecies of a seventeenth-century witch are coming true on schedule, and an angel and a demon who have both grown rather fond of Earth would prefer Armageddon not happen. |
Good Omens
Where I heard about it
- a16z’s infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the Fantasy section, the first of four titles under their Neil Gaiman entry. Their note on the entry is a caveat about separating art from artist, and it recommends only some of the books; this is one of the four they kept.
About this edition
