Notes
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (1979) by Douglas Adams is a comic science fiction novel that follows the misadventures of Arthur Dent, an ordinary Englishman who is swept off Earth just before its destruction. Traveling through space with his alien friend Ford Prefect, eccentric researcher Zaphod Beeblebrox, and the perpetually depressed robot Marvin, Arthur encounters bizarre planets, strange civilizations, and absurd cosmic phenomena. Known for its witty satire, clever wordplay, and absurdist humor, the book explores themes of the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, famously encapsulated in the answer “42.” Its blend of science fiction and comedy has made it a cult classic and a seminal work in speculative fiction.
