About the Book
By now the story is legendary. Arthur Dent, mild-mannered, out-to-lunch earth-ling, is plucked from his planet by his friend Ford Prefect just seconds before it was demolished to make way for a hyper-space bypass. Ford, posing as an out-of-work actor, is a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy. Together the gruesome twosome begin their now-famous inter-galactic journey through time, space and best-sellerdom.
This book is the “founder of the feast” – the books which followed in the series, the enormously successful BBC Radio series, a BBC television series shown in the US on HBO a stage play, a record – even a bath towel. RosettaBooks also publishes three other titles in the series – The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, So Long as Thanks for All the Fish and Life, the Universe and Everything.
Douglas Adams was a prolific writer in many media – but he began as a chicken shed cleaner, a bodyguard for an Arab royal family and a guitarist for the rock band Pink Floyd.
Upon his death at age 49 in 2001, the BBC News wrote that Douglas Adams was also an internet pioneer. “He believed something powerful was created when people pooled experiences and information and the internet offered a unique opportunity to do just that. He said part of the internet´s extraordinary power was the fact that it "evolved as an organic entity, a bottom-up design rather than being hierarchically controlled from above".”
