Douglas Noël Adams was an English author, comic radio dramatist, and musician. He is best known as the author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Hitchhiker's began on radio, and developed into a "trilogy" of five books (which sold more than fifteen million copies during his lifetime) as well as a television series, a comic book series, a computer game, and a feature film that was completed after Adams' death. The series has also been adapted for live theatre using various scripts; the earliest such productions used material newly written by Adams. He was known to some fans as Bop Ad (after his illegible signature), or by his initials "DNA".
In addition to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams wrote or co-wrote three stories of the science fiction television series Doctor Who and served as Script Editor during the seventeenth season. His other written works include the Dirk Gently novels, and he co-wrote two Liff books and Last Chance to See, itself based on a radio series. Adams also originated the idea for the computer game Starship Titanic, which was produced by a company that Adams co-founded, and adapted into a novel by Terry Jones. A posthumous collection of essays and other material, including an incomplete novel, was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002.
His fans and friends also knew Adams as an environmental activist and a lover of fast cars, cameras, the Macintosh computer, and other "techno gizmos".
Toward the end of his life he was a sought-after lecturer on topics including technology and the environment.

What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common? Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza – not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge). To find out more, read this book (better still, buy it, then read it) – or contact Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. ‘A thumping good detective-ghost-horror-whodunnit-time travel-romantic-musical-comedy epic.’ The author
读第二遍的时候才发现,结局最重要的瞬间在第一章就告诉我们了,只是当时看不懂!厉害厉害!
评分我要把现在一直到过年的赞美都送给这本书 比起H2G2这个更好看更可爱 DNA是DW超超超大触
评分在赞美DNA方面,除了他自己,任何人都得词穷。
评分一般情况下我们管这叫too much foreplay with premature ejaculation,不过DNA的“foreplay”风格实在太深得人心了,光是语言风格我就要给他满分。后半程愈发精彩激烈,恨不得下一秒就跳到结尾看看揭秘。事关全人类种族存亡,Dirk Gently只剩两分钟时间来拯救全人类了!在地铁上紧张激动地都快吐出来,结果第35章愣是没看明白为什么通过和Samuel Coleridge对话就解决了一百亿年前外星鬼魂带来人类毁灭的问题。PS:时光机因为工人修好了电话而失效,British Telecom从头到尾被黑的体无完肤www
评分完全是由于沉迷DNA的文风才读下来的...开头几章真的读得好费劲,结尾有几处也没看懂,柯勒律治的部分看了好几遍才大概明白...然而脑残粉还是喜欢得很... (摊手 好想哪天可以自己把DNA的小说翻译出来啊
