"Life, universe and everything" is a book by British author Douglas Adams. It is written in an elaborate sci-fi style that mixes advanced mathematics with storytelling. The book tells the story of Arthur Dent's adventures after he wakes up from a night of drinking to find that his house has been demolished and all his friends have disappeared. He is then transported into space and begins an adventure through space and time, encountering many alien civilizations spanning many different planets, stars, and galaxies.
"I am the key to my own jail," said Arthur Dent as he watched his house sail away into the night. It was one of many revelations that would shape his life, and it was also one of the most important.
Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, wrote a book in 1978 called Life, the Universe and Everything. It is also his most famous book, however it was released posthumously by his brother in 1983. The audiobook for this work has been read by David Tennant who stars as Doctor Who.
This is a story about the narrator, Arthur Dent, and his friend Ford Prefect, who happen to be stranded on Earth while it is being demolished by its own inhabitants after they missed a sign that said 'Do not enter.'
The book is narrated by Martin Freeman and is a science-fiction comedy novel. It follows Arthur Dent as he travels through the universe after planet Earth is destroyed, and also includes such characters as Ford Prefect (another human from Earth) and Trillian (a woman from one of Earth's other planets).
The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy is considered by some to be one of the most influential science fiction books ever written. It is thought that Douglas Adams decided to write the book because he had a strong interest in science, particularly astronomy and was simply writing down his thoughts. This guide contains everything you could ever want to know about life in the universe and provides over two hours of entertainment without having to put on your shoes.
