Hitchhikers’ Guide fills in a much needed void in Sci-Fi; that of the long form comedy.
I know of nothing else like it, outside of the works of Stanslaw Lem.� The trilogy actually has five novels in it, but the later novels merely expound on concepts presented in the first two.� These were�also made into an entertaining, “Dr Who” looking�BBC television series which was further altered extensively for a Hollywood movie. The series also endured as a radio serial.� Beaten to death themes of alien invasion, galactic warfare, and interstellar travel are all given a fresh treatment by Adams‘ British wit.� Some real science by way of cosmology has been dropped in, too:� The Big Bang, Fermi’s Paradox, and the conundrums of time travel are all represented here.� And this book manages to do another remarkable thing;�it draws in fans who otherwise would have nothing to do with�science fiction!
Testing…
Happy 5th Anniversary!
Wonder what my first blog post (here http://www.satellitespy.net/blog/places/countries/prologue-satellite-spy%E2%80%99s-first-blog-post-4/ ) will seem like a few years from now?
