Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, 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 through 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, Zaphod'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 between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don't forget to bring a towel!
Douglas Adams is the author of five books in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy including The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. He lives in London.

評分可以说,这本书和村上春树,基本影响了我的写作风格和喜好,这种将严肃的压得人透不气来的故事,描写成轻松愉快自嘲的文学,实在是我个人最大的偏爱。 中国人是个无法自嘲的民族,出了国之后和老外接触多了之后,尤其感觉到了这一点,要知道,无法自嘲的民族,还包括伊斯兰教...
評分这是对我自己说的话,因为我个人的庸俗和稀缺的幽默感都让我无法能够理解充斥在这本书中的荒诞。 很大程度上,最终支持我或者说强迫自己读到最后的唯一理由是:那么多人的推荐一定是有道理的。抛开人与人之间的阅读差异和文化偏差的因素,普遍的推荐总是存在一般的无偏差的推...
評分我必须承认,我之所以会去看《银河系漫游指南》这套书,是因为我喜欢《银河系漫游指南》这电影;我也必须承认,我之所以会去看《银河系漫游指南》这电影,是因为我喜欢那个大脑袋机器人。 是的,电影非常有趣,是近几年少有的既疯狂怪诞、又幽默智慧的电影。不过,书其实更有趣...
評分时至如今,科幻小说在许多人眼中仍是荒诞的代表,科幻小说中描写的太空帝国(如阿西莫夫《基地》》、机器人(如阿西莫夫《我,机器人》)或对外太空的探索(如罗宾逊《红火星》),显得是那么遥不可及、不可思议。事实上科幻小说并不荒诞,尽管它仍未有一个完全明确的定义,但...
