First published 2002
Douglas Adams had an idea that would change the world. In 1971, lying in a field in Innsbruck, he conceived of a book that would become a beloved sci-fi classic: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." This is the story of how that idea blossomed into a radio series, a five-book "trilogy," a TV adaptation, and more. Acclaimed author Neil Gaiman guides readers through the whole whirlwind tale, from the initial spark to the posthumous collection "The Salmon of Doubt." It's a wild ride filled with outrageous humor, unforgettable characters, and the creative genius of one ape-descended human.
