Book Summary
Life, the Universe and Everything is the third novel in Douglas Adams’s The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series and continues the absurd, fast-paced adventures of Arthur Dent and his intergalactic companions. In this installment, Arthur is once again swept away from Earth and drawn into a cosmic conflict involving the Krikit people, whose desire to understand the universe leads them to attempt its complete destruction. Alongside Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, and the perpetually gloomy robot Marvin, Arthur navigates time travel, bizarre technologies, and illogical philosophies. Packed with sharp satire and inventive humour, the novel playfully explores humanity’s obsession with ultimate answers, the dangers of narrow thinking, and the absurdity of trying to make sense of existence itself.
