Arthur Dent is rescued from Earth a few seconds before it is destroyed to make room for a galactic expressway by his buddy Ford Prefect. Ford Prefect is a researcher for the updated version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and has been living as an unemployed actor for the last fifteen years.
With the help of passages from The Hitchhiker's Guide ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have"), this dynamic duo sets off on a space voyage together. ... a galactic host of fellow voyagers: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the ex-hippie, two-headed, three-armed president of the galaxy; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he has purchased over the years; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formerly Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur once attempted to pick up at a cocktail party.
These pens are missing. Why do we become born? We die, but why? Why do we take so long to put on and take off our digital watches? Put your thumb to the stars to get all the answers. Additionally, remember to include a towel!
