ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams follows the unlikely adventures of Arthur Dent, an ordinary Englishman, who is swept off Earth moments before its destruction. Arthur, bewildered by the universe, travels with his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the titular Hitchhiker’s Guide, a flawed and often inaccurate electronic book that is used for reference during their travels. Throughout the series, Arthur encounters a host of bizarre characters and situations as he navigates the absurdity of the cosmos. The series explores themes of unreliable information, the search for meaning, and the inherent ridiculousness of the universe.
