“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”
Author- Douglas Adams
publisher- New York: Harmony Books 1980, c1979.
Annotations- A book that starts where most are afraid to end, we begin with the destruction of the earth and things pick up speed from there, the Author Douglas Adams oft considered one of the 21st century's great satirists takes us through an absurd, fast passed, slide splittingly funny look at a universe where humanity is not even a blip on the radar, earth only warrants a two word description in the culmination of all knowledge and humans aren't even rate in the top two spots for smartest creatures on earth.
