The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams is a comic science fiction novel that begins with Arthur Dent escaping Earth’s destruction thanks to his alien friend Ford Prefect. They journey through space, encountering eccentric beings like Zaphod Beeblebrox, Marvin the paranoid android, and Trillian. Guided by the titular electronic book, the story satirizes bureaucracy, technology and existence itself. Absurd, witty and philosophical, it turns cosmic chaos into hilarious reflections on life, the universe and everything.
