Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Overview & Summary
Moments before Earth is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, ordinary Englishman Arthur Dent is whisked off-planet by his friend Ford Prefect, who turns out to be an alien researcher for a galactic travel guide. What follows is an absurdist romp through space involving a two-headed ex-president, a depressed robot, the number 42, and the ultimate unanswerable question of life, the universe, and everything. Douglas Adams's comic science fiction novel is one of the most beloved satirical works in the genre.
