** One hypothesis is that the final book of Discworld was always intended to be the industrial revolution, though details changed on the way. When Pratchett realized he didn't have much time left, everything except ''Raising Steam'' and ''Literature/TheShepherdsCrown'' was put aside, as he wanted to finish both the Anhk Morpork and the Witches storylines. He didn't have enough time to finish ''Shepherd's Crown''.
*** That's no hypothesis, Terry said exactly that in his pre-recorded video message to the 2014 DW Convention

** What muddies the waters here is that Terry has also been heard to mention a working title called ''Running Water''. Which is variably about two other aspects of the British industrial revolution, depending on which story you've heard: either the massive expansion of the canal system for mass transit of goods (ie, cutting artificial rivers in straight lines between towns) or else the provision of piped water on tap to all homes and businesses. Both ran hand-in-hand with railways.
