It also includes references to drug use, which has also been a point of contention for some who seek to challenge its place in libraries or schools.

He doesn't know- after having been elected as President of the Universe he commits a terrible crime by stealing the spaceship 'Heart of Gold', the first vessel ever built to be able to arrive at it's destination instantly by use of the Infinite Improbability Drive. He has been outlawed and is on the run from Universal justice, but it's easy for him to keep on avoiding that with such a spaceship at his disposal, and he's so arrogant and devil-may-care that he just lives for the moment and just takes wherever he ends up as he finds it.

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.

The 1980's. The particular year is dodged... in one of his books he says "198-".

The quote "When you blame others, you give up your power to change" is attributed to Douglas Adams, who was a British author known for his book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." This quote serves as a reminder that taking responsibility for our actions empowers us to make positive changes in our lives, rather than shifting blame onto others.

Ford Prefect carries a towel, a copy of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," and various odds and ends in his backpack. The towel is particularly important as it is described as the most useful item a hitchhiker can have.

The Altarian Dollar is used, but Flanian Pobble beads and the Triganic Pu are also mentioned.

The babel fish was a small, yellow, leech-like creature that could be placed in the ear to translate any language in the galaxy for the person wearing it. It was created by the Infinite Improbability Drive and played a crucial role in communication throughout the series.

The Vogons, the mice (Benjy and Frankie) and the "enlightened" Space Cops.
