The set includes The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, where Arthur is first flung into space and learns the importance of not panicking; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, a surreal journey to the end of time itself; Life, the Universe and Everything, involving a quest to save the universe from a deadly race of xenophobes; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, a more Earth-bound love story with dolphins and weather gone awry; and Mostly Harmless, a darker, more fragmented finale that questions the nature of reality and identity. Blending satire, philosophy, and slapstick science fiction, the 2002 box set is a definitive edition for fans old and new, capturing Adams’ uniquely British blend of cosmic chaos and existential comedy.. Good+ with no dust jacket .
