A Conversation for Shopping Trolleys

A while back, I read a really really bizarre book by Bo Fowler called _Scepticism Inc._. It describes itself as "A sublime satire on the lunacies of organised religion, a heartbreaking story of a doomed love...".
OK, so why post this here? Well, as the book also says of itself:
"The narrator of this brilliantly original first novel was made on 3 November 2022 in an industrial estate on the outskirts of Chelmsford. After the three weeks of his childhood he's sent to work in a Shopalot store in St Pancras, next door to the most famous little church in the world. He's a supermarket trolley, and he believes in God."
As I said, a really really bizarre book!

Sounds it!
The only other book I've come across where shopping trolleys play a large part is Terry Pratchett's "Johnny And The Bomb"...

they also play a rather amusing part in Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man
