A comedy science fiction, originally based on a radio sitcom broadcast on the BBC.
The narrative follows the misadventures of the last surviving man, following the demolition of the Earth by an alien constructor fleet to make way for a hyperspace highway.
A series of additional foolish, nonsense characters make you laugh: Ford Prefect, an alien and researcher for the Galaxy Guide; the Vogons, a race of unpleasant beings that torture prisoners with poetry; Marvin the Paranoid Android, a depressed robot; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the imperial President, who stole the spacecraft moved by Infinite Improbability energy.
An absurd comedy.
