Brief Description:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Extremely funny . . . inspired lunacy . . .
[and] over much too soon.”—The Washington Post Book World SOON TO BE A HULU
SERIES • Now celebrating the pivotal 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s
Guide to the Galaxy! Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by
PBS’s The Great American Read It’s an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur
Dent . . . until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly after
to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur’s best friend
has just announced that he’s an alien. After that, things get much, much
worse. With just a towel, a small yellow fish, and a book, Arthur has to
navigate through a very hostile universe in the company of a gang of
unreliable aliens. Luckily the fish is quite good at languages. And the
book is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . . . which helpfully has the
words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover.
Douglas Adams’s mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit,
plays havoc with both time and physics, offers up pithy commentary on such
things as ballpoint pens, potted plants, and digital watches . . . and,
most important, reveals the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and
everything. Now, if you could only figure out the question. . . .
