被美國公共廣播公司（PBS）的「美國最受歡迎小說」提名為美國最受歡迎小說之一
對亞瑟·鄧特來說，這是一個平凡的星期四早晨……直到他的房子被拆毀。不久之後，地球也隨之毀滅，為一條新的超空間快線讓路，而亞瑟最好的朋友剛剛宣布自己是外星人。
之後，事情變得越來越糟。
亞瑟只有一條毛巾、一條黃色的小魚和一本書，他必須在一群不靠譜的外星人的陪伴下，穿越一個充滿敵意的宇宙。幸運的是，這條小魚非常擅長語言。這本書就是《銀河系漫遊指南》…… ……封面上用大號、友好的字體寫著“不要驚慌”，這很貼心。
道格拉斯·亞當斯的這部暢銷流行文化經典將邏輯推向了極致，顛覆了時間和物理學，對圓珠筆、盆栽和電子表等事物進行了精闢的評述……最重要的是，它揭示了生命、宇宙以及一切的終極答案。
現在，如果你能弄清楚這個問題…
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read
It's an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur Dent . . . until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly after to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur's best friend has just announced that he's an alien.
After that, things get much, much worse.
With just a towel, a small yellow fish, and a book, Arthur has to navigate through a very hostile universe in the company of a gang of unreliable aliens. Luckily the fish is quite good at languages. And the book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . . . which helpfully has the words DON'T PANIC inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover.
Douglas Adams's mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with both time and physics, offers up pithy commentary on such things as ballpoint pens, potted plants, and digital watches . . . and, most important, reveals the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything.
Now, if you could only figure out the question. . . .
