Douglas Noël Adams was an English author, comic radio dramatist, and musician. He is best known as the author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Hitchhiker's began on radio, and developed into a "trilogy" of five books (which sold more than fifteen million copies during his lifetime) as well as a television series, a comic book series, a computer game, and a feature film that was completed after Adams' death. The series has also been adapted for live theatre using various scripts; the earliest such productions used material newly written by Adams. He was known to some fans as Bop Ad (after his illegible signature), or by his initials "DNA".
In addition to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams wrote or co-wrote three stories of the science fiction television series Doctor Who and served as Script Editor during the seventeenth season. His other written works include the Dirk Gently novels, and he co-wrote two Liff books and Last Chance to See, itself based on a radio series. Adams also originated the idea for the computer game Starship Titanic, which was produced by a company that Adams co-founded, and adapted into a novel by Terry Jones. A posthumous collection of essays and other material, including an incomplete novel, was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002.
His fans and friends also knew Adams as an environmental activist and a lover of fast cars, cameras, the Macintosh computer, and other "techno gizmos".
Toward the end of his life he was a sought-after lecturer on topics including technology and the environment.
What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common? Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza – not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge). To find out more, read this book (better still, buy it, then read it) – or contact Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. ‘A thumping good detective-ghost-horror-whodunnit-time travel-romantic-musical-comedy epic.’ The author
DNA这本真是不如银漫系列故事展开得新奇,最开始Electric Monk那段不知所云的流水账式讲故事法让我看一次睡一次。但我到封面上DNA称自己这书为“巨好的侦探鬼怪恐怖推理时间旅行浪漫歌剧喜剧巨著”,就忍不住笑着打了四星,何况熬过最初1/3后还是挺精彩的。
评分亚当斯是苦大仇深的反义词,并不关心那些笨重的东西,盘腿坐下来,把几亿种可能性攒成三团,抛起玩杂耍。能化解危机的,总是最轻巧荒谬的巧合,而时空穿梭回到古希腊,只为了给女孩变一个戏法,以及用余出来的空间拯救卡在楼道里的沙发。“Don't panic”一脉相承,宇宙基石是不确定性,这都有什么的啊,别慌。这些故事的精巧和无用性令人咋舌,轻盈得好像卡尔维诺笔下某种树上的生物,能不守秩序、胡来、开玩笑,是最自信的富有,因此他在账单上写下:To saving human race from total extinction - no charge.
评分天马行空一如往常,玩梗玩到飞起
