Summary
Moments before Earth is demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, ordinary Englishman Arthur Dent is whisked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the titular intergalactic guidebook. Arthur stumbles through a bewildering cosmos alongside the two-headed galactic president Zaphod Beeblebrox, fellow human Trillian, and a chronically depressed robot named Marvin, all while searching for the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
