 Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy started life as a BBC radio series in 1980, spawning novels, radio shows and a film, and achieving cult status.
The Hitchhiker's Guide never really fitted into the science fiction/fantasy genre. It belongs rather in the much older tradition of English absurdism with The Goon Show and Monty Python's Flying Circus. Adams also occasionally wrote scripts for the Flying Circus.
Douglas Adams was born in Cambridge, UK, and lived with his wife and daughter in Santa Barbara, California, where he died suddenly on May 11th 2001.
The Adams estate selected Eoin Colfer - Irish author of the wickedly funny Artemis Fowl children's fantasy series - to continue the late writer's work and keep interplanetary bad-luck magnet Arthur Dent going with And Another Thing (Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Part Six of Three).
