ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams follows the misadventures of Arthur Dent, an ordinary Englishman, after the Earth is destroyed to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Arthur is rescued by his friend Ford Prefect, who is actually an alien researcher for the titular guidebook. They embark on a chaotic journey through the galaxy, encountering various absurd characters and situations. The story uses humor to explore themes of meaning, the nature of knowledge, and the place of humanity in the cosmos. The search for the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything becomes a central plot point, highlighting the often absurd nature of philosophical pursuits. The book is filled with satire of bureaucracy and the human tendency to seek order in a chaotic universe.
