Centered on the fictional book The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy—its authority, omissions, and famous “DON’T PANIC” ethos—the narrative then shifts to Arthur Dent’s ordinary domestic life. Chapter 1 follows his last peaceful Thursday as a bypass bulldozes his home, triggering the start of far-reaching chaos.","BY DOUGLAS ADAMS:  \nPublished by The Random House Publishing Group  \nThe Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Life, the Universe and Everything So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Mostly Harmless  \nThe Ultimate Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy The Salmon of Doubt  \nDirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency The Long Tea-Time of the Soul The Original Hitchhiker Radio Scripts The Meaning of Liʃ (with John Lloyd)  \nLast Chance to See (with Mark Cowardine) The Deeper Meaning of Liʃ (with John Lloyd)  \nfor Jonny Brock and Clare Gorst and all other Arlingtonians for tea, sympathy and a sofa  \nar out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the F Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.  \nOrbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insigniɹcant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended lifeforms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches area pretty neat idea.  \nThis planet has—or rather had—a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.  \nAnd so the problem remained; lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.  \nMany were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the ɹrst place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.  \nAnd then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she ɹnally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.  \nSadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible, stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost for ever.  \nThis is not her story.  \nBut it is the story of that terrible, stupid catastrophe and some of its consequences.  \nIt is also the story of a book, a book called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy—not an Earth book, never published on Earth, and until the  \nterrible catastrophe occurred, never seen or even heard of by any Earthman.  \nNevertheless, a wholly remarkable book.  \nInfact, it was probably the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor—of which no Earth-man had ever heard either.  \nNot only is it a wholly remarkable book, it is also a highly successful one—more popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling than Fifty-three More Things to Do in Zero Gravity, and more controversial than Oolon Colluphid’s trilogy of philosophical blockbusters, Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes and Who Is This God Person Anyway?  \nIn many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Hitchhiker’s Guide has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.  \nFirst, it is slightly cheaper; and second, it has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.  \nBut the story of this terrible, stupid Thursday, the story of its extraordinary consequences, and the story of how these consequences are inextricably intertwined with this remarkable book begins very simply.  \nIt begins with a
