The Hitchhiker's Guide

“Technology is the word we use to describe things we don’t
understand.” ---- Douglas Adams
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy" was originally a 1978 BBC radio series, written by Douglas
Adams, which first premiered in the US on PBS in 1980. The subsequent
TV show (available on DVD) recreates the insight and beauty of the radio
broadcast with visuals that were precognizant and beyond “state of the
art.” The book of the same name was
actually a transcript of the original audio.
The book pales by comparison to the original radio episodes because of
the genius of the audio effects. (The 2005 movie version was an
abomination.) The
