Douglas Adams changed the face of science fiction with his cosmically comic novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and its classic sequels. Sadly for his countless admirers, he hitched his own ride to the great beyond much too soon. Culled posthumously from Adams’s fleet of beloved Macintosh computers, this selection of essays, articles, anecdotes, and stories offers a fascinating and intimate portrait of the multifaceted artist and absurdist wordsmith. Join Adams on an excursion to climb Kilimanjaro…dressed in a rhino costume; peek into the private life of Genghis Khan—warrior and world-class neurotic; root for the harried author’s efforts to get a Hitchhiker movie off the ground in Hollywood; thrill to the further exploits of private eye Dirk Gently and two-headed alien Zaphod Beeblebrox. Though Douglas Adams is gone, he’s left us something very special to remember him by. Without a doubt.
Two quirky detective stories from Britain's best sci-fi writer and author of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Douglas Adams. schovat popis
Там, где вам не помогут ни полиция, ни дипломированный психиатр, ни кембриджский профессор, вступает в действие детективное агентство Дирка Джентли – крупнейшего специалиста по бракоразводным процессам, пропавшим кошкам и пришельцам из иных миров. Кто, как не он, даст ответ на сложнейшие вопросы современности: Что общего у кошки и Кольриджа с квантовой механикой и кушеткой в стиле «Честерфилд»? Может ли покойник подать в суд за клевету? И действительно ли в подсознании каждого из нас живет гений, готовый справиться с любой задачей – даже с той, что на первый взгляд кажется неразрешимой?
