🌌 Douglas Adams created "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a comedic sci-fi masterpiece that began as a 1978 BBC radio series. His absurdist humor, featuring the answer "42" to life's ultimate question and concepts like the Infinite Improbability Drive, transformed science fiction from serious to hilariously philosophical.⁠ ⁠ "The Salmon of Doubt" was Adams' unfinished novel at his death in 2001, later published as a collection including the incomplete work. His blend of satire, technology commentary, and existential absurdity influenced countless writers and made complex ideas accessible through humor, cementing his legacy as literature's most beloved comedic futurist.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #douglasadams #hitchhikersguidetothegalaxy #scifi #sciencefiction #masterpiece #sci-fi #science
