Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

By Douglas Adams

Description

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams is a science fiction comedy that some describe as chaotic, funny, and inventive, while others say it's silly, brilliantly, and gloriously so. The book is about two humans who survive Earth's destruction and travel through space and time, with the main character Arthur Dent trying to find a decent cup of tea and the meaning of life. The story is told with a British sense of humor, using deadpan delivery and sarcastic remarks, and it mocks modern society with cynicism. It also asks big philosophical questions, such as the meaning of life, and pokes fun at them, while also antagonizing religion.
