What is the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?
The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy is a multimedia franchise started by the late British author, Douglas Adams. Widely adored for its surrealist humor and creativity, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy follows the plight of Arthur Dent, a passive and somewhat useless protagonist, as he explores the universe after the Earth is destroyed. In the company of aliens and frequently unsavory and unhelpful fellows, Arthur often relies on the standard guide to the universe, an interactive encyclopedia designed for vagrant travelers, also called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
