This book is one book from a series called "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" and it tells a story of a man named Arthur Dent and his search for a multi-dimensional Earth. Since Arthur's original home planet had been destroyed to make way for a space port, Arthur had decided to try and settle down at home in a place that would have been Earth, just in another dimension. Meanwhile, planet Krikkit and it's people are trying to take over the universe just for kicks. Arthur's friend Ford Perfect, who works for "the Guide", is trying to save "the Guide" from aliens. A woman named Trillian, the last woman from earth, finds Arthur and presents him with his teenage daughter called "Random". Basically, a whole bunch of extremely unexpected events happen in a completely unexpected place and order. But that's the point of the book.
I chose this book because I have read books in the series before and really enjoyed them, so I figured "why not right?". I would definitely recommend this book because of how entertaining it is. Douglas Adams created a series of books that either had to be extremely well thought out, or he is just really good at writing as he goes. This book represents a big part of American culture because America is very sci-fi oriented. From Movies like "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" and every day technology that we use like self opening doors, timed coffee makers, to basically anything that reduces the need for us to work. In the book there are temperature regulating windows and stupid self driving spaceships.
