Description
This is one essay from the anthology The Anthology at the End of the Universe
Cult favorite for over twenty years, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series has influenced everything from modern day science fiction to the look of today’s computer interfaces. This anthology includes not only a look at the inaccurately named trilogy’s social and technological effects, but an assessment of Vogon poetry, the zen of 42 and why Marvin is actually Jesus Christ.
