    Dirk Gentlys holistiske detektivbureau

    Af Douglas Adams (2018)

    "Højt oppe på et klippeforbjerg sad en elektrisk munk på en hest, der kedede sig. Munken stirrede ud under sin groft vævede kutte og ned i en anden dal, som den havde lidt problemer med...



    Uheldigvis havde denne elektriske munk fået en fejl, så den var begyndt at tro på alt muligt, mere eller mindre vilkårligt. Den var sågar begyndt at tro på ting, som de selv i Salt Lake City ville have svært ved at tro på."



    Der sker mærkelige ting på Jorden, efter et rumskib er forlist der, og dets eneste overlevende har begivet sig ud på vandring. Den besætter det eneste menneske efter det andet, og hver gang fører det enorm forvirring og overraskelse med sig. Mon Dirk Gently kan opklare nogle af de mærkelige sager?



    Douglas Adams blander igen humor ind i science fiction på sin egen unikke måde. Den engelske forfatter Douglas Adams (1952-2001) skabte med sin trilogi i fem bind om Arthur Dent en eventyrlig genre inden for science fiction, der med sin humor gav verden en ny ramme for, hvad der er logisk muligt.

    The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

    Af Douglas Adams (2006)
    Summary: Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of  The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,  soon to be a Hulu original series! “Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.”— The Washington Post Book World Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability. Among Arthur’s motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who’s gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker’s Guide deleted the term “Future Perfect” from its pages, since it was discovered not to be! “What’s such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams’s sardonically silly eyes.”— Detroit Free Press

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    Af Douglas Adams (2005)
    Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Extremely funny . . . inspired lunacy . . . and over much too soon.”— The Washington Post Book World SOON TO BE A HULU SERIES • Now celebrating the pivotal 42nd anniversary of  The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy ! Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s  The Great American Read It’s an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur Dent . . . until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly after to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur’s best friend has just announced that he’s an alien. After that, things get much, much worse. With just a towel, a small yellow fish, and a book, Arthur has to navigate through a very hostile universe in the company of a gang of unreliable aliens. Luckily the fish is quite good at languages. And the book is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . . . which helpfully has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover. Douglas Adams’s mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with both time and physics, offers up pithy commentary on such things as ballpoint pens, potted plants, and digital watches . . . and, most important, reveals the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. Now, if you could only figure out the question. . .
