Originally broadcast as a radio series before its 1979 publication, Douglas Adams's seminal work follows the hapless Arthur Dent after the Earth is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. This narrative blends absurdist philosophy with dry wit, documenting the travels of an ordinary human across a chaotic and bureaucratic universe alongside an eccentric cast of extraterrestrial companions.
