Mostly Harmless

Author: Douglas Adams

In this hilarious finale to the Hitchhiker’s trilogy, Arthur Dent finds himself stranded on a primitive planet, longing for a decent cup of tea. As he stumbles through parallel universes, he encounters familiar faces and new absurdities. Adams’ wit shines as he pokes fun at bureaucracy, probability, and the meaning of life. With its blend of sci-fi satire and philosophical musings, “Mostly Harmless” is a fitting end to a beloved series that still makes me chuckle years later.

Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else that thinks at least as logically as it does.
