Darwin's Watch : Science of Discworld III - Terry Pratchett
Roundworld is in trouble again, and this time it looks fatal. They know the creatures who lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. Having created it in the first place, the wizards of Unseen Univeristy feel vaguely responsible for its safety.
Unless something drastic is done, there won't be time for anyone to invent spaceflight and the human race will be turned into ice-pops. But now it's all gone wrong - Victorian England has stagnated and the pace of progress would embarrass a limping snail.
