Don't Panic! Those are the words inscribed on the cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which makes it better selling than the Encyclopedia Galactica, both of which come out the famous publishing company of Ursa Minor. This is the story of Arthur Dent, your average human, and his friend, Ford Prefect, who turns out to not be your average human. (In fact, he's from a small planet in the vicinity of Beteguese) Unfortunately for Arthur, his house is about to be demolished for a new highway, and he is about to find out that his planet is about to be demolished for a new interstellar highway. So, as you can see, he has some serious problems. This is the hilarious first book in the incorrectly named, Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy. "This is about the worst Thursday that ever happened, and why the Universe is a lot safer if you bring a towel."
