Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 👽 by Douglas Adams - Book discussion

This year we are reading SciFi from around the world! For April we are lingering in the UK a bit longer for a fan favorite.

Published in 1979 by British author Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy begins with the destruction of Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass. What follows is a chaotic journey through space featuring depressed robots, two-headed presidents, improbable physics, and a supercomputer tasked with answering the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Originally a BBC radio series before becoming a bestselling novel (and later a film and television adaptation), this book is sharp, satirical, and relentlessly clever. Beneath the humor lies something sneakier: a meditation on bureaucracy, technology, human ego, and the search for meaning in an incomprehensibly large cosmos. Don't forget to bring your towel ^.-

Happy reading - and feel free to reach out beforehand if you have any questions! - Amber
