    The headline is clickbait. Here’s the crux:

    As reported by The Telegraph, the caution is confined to the audiobooks and seeks to provide context, stating, “The first book in the Discworld series – The Colour of Magic – was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.”

    Entirely factual and inoffensive.

      It’s true, but I wonder what aspects of the books they feel needed such a notice in order to provide context.

      I can only assume they thought readers would be surprised or put off by something, or do they put a caution notice on all of their books written in the early 80’s?
