It is the story of an average man, Arthur Dent, who is whisked away from earth moments before it is destroyed by Vogons to create a space highway(long story), by his friend Ford Prefect, who is actually an alien(and who was, at the time, doing research for a second edition of the guide mentioned in the title. Many wild adventures follow, which Arthur shares with a girl he once failed to pick up at a party(Tricia Mcmillan AKA Trillian), the fugitive president of the galaxy, who succeeded in picking her up at the same party(Zaphod Beebleprox), and Marvin, a terminally depressed android. All of these characters combine for a thoroughly entertaining tale. There were four equally delightful sequels.
