Author Info: Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge, England, in 1952. At least some of the this time was spent hitchhiking across Europe because in 1971 he found himself in Innsbruck, Austria, lying in a field drunk thinking how much better life would be if there was a guide to hitchhiking across the galaxy. Adams graduated in 1974, and eventually hooked up with producer Simony Brett, leading to the debut of //The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy// on BBC Radio in 1978. Adams turned //The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy// into a book in 1979, followed by sequels //The Restaurant at the End of the Universe// in 1980 and Life, //the Universe and Everything in 1982//, making it a trilogy. .................................................................................

Book Background:

Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Perfect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together this dynamic pair begin a journey though space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker’s Guide (“ A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have”) and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox- the two- headed, three- armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy: Trillian, Zaphad’s girlfriend ( formally Tricia McMillan ), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone: Marvin, a Paranoid, brilliant and chronically depressed robot: Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years. Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die?Why do we spend so much time in between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don’t forget to bring a towel!
