2018 HHGTTG: Don't Panic!
MM: My Favourite Novel (Fiction)
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Always the perfect read if you need a laugh, to improve your mood or just relax!
This is a small detail from a TOWEL - A towel is the most important item a Hitchhiker can carry.
Towel Day is celebrated every year on 25 May as a tribute to the author Douglas Adams by his fans.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) is a comedy science fiction series created by Douglas Adams. Originally a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1978, it was later adapted to other formats, including stage shows, novels, comic books, a 1981 TV series, a 1984 computer game, and 2005 feature film.
The broad narrative follows the misadventures of the last surviving man, Arthur Dent, following the demolition of the planet Earth by a Vogon constructor fleet to make way for a hyperspace bypass.
Dent is rescued from Earth's destruction by Ford Prefect, a human-like alien writer for the eccentric, electronic travel guide The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by hitchhiking onto a passing Vogon spacecraft. Following his rescue, Dent explores the galaxy with Prefect and encounters Trillian, another human that had been taken from Earth prior to its destruction by the President of the Galaxy, the two-headed Zaphod Beeblebrox, and the depressed Marvin, the Paranoid Android.
Don't Panic is advice given to intergalactic travellers.
"It is said that despite its many glaring (and occasionally fatal) inaccuracies, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy itself has outsold the Encyclopedia Galactica because it is slightly cheaper, and because it has the words 'DON'T PANIC' in large, friendly letters on the cover."
