When Earth is destroyed to make way for a Hyperspatial express route, Arthur Dent discovers that space is big, as he is taken on a hair-raising tour of the Galaxy and its very strange inhabitants. He travels the galaxy with his pal Ford Prefect, getting into horrible messes and generally wreaking hilarious havoc. You’ll never read funnier science fiction.
