When Earth is unexpectedly destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass, the pair embarks on a galactic journey filled with eccentric characters, bizarre alien cultures, and thought-provoking satire. Throughout the five-book series, readers are treated to a delightful blend of humor, philosophy, and science fiction. Adams pokes fun at bureaucracy, human nature, and the absurdity of life itself, all while exploring profound concepts like the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a must-read for science fiction fans and anyone seeking a clever, entertaining, and philosophical journey through the cosmos...
