This is a biography of Douglas Adams by Neil Gaiman, not the Hitchhiker's Guide fiction itself. It traces Adams' life, creative process, and the evolution of his iconic work across multiple media formats. The book celebrates creative thinking, persistence, and the intersection of humor with social commentary. It's an engaging introduction to both Adams' life and the history of how ideas transform across different platforms.

This is the story of an ape-descended human called Douglas Adams who, in a field in Innsbruck in 1971, had an idea. This is also the story of what that idea became: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - of the original radio series which started it all and the five book trilogy, the TV series, almost-film, computer game, towel and website that followed. This revised edition comes up to date, covering Adams' recent work, his untimely death in May 2001 and posthumous publications.
