The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide, 1) by Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry

Insights from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide, #1)

Arthur Dent trying to save his house while the world ends is so relatable. We focus on small problems because the big ones are too scary.

“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.”

Space is just too big for our brains to handle. It makes all our human drama look pretty silly and small.

“I've been talking to the main computer. It hates me.”

Marvin the robot is the most human character. Being super smart and having nothing to do would make anyone miserable.

“So long, and thanks for all the fish.”

The dolphins leaving because they knew the end was coming is hilarious. They were the smart ones all along.
