It's perfectly rated.
Good book for teens and the immature 20somethigns, as it pushes one to think a little more while amusing.

This. It's very much a product of its time and place. Unless you grew up in the English Home Counties in the 1980s (and ideally, your father was a stockbroker), it's probably not for you

I've always assumed Musk was a Culture kind of guy.

I would rate the first 3 books, respectively: 8/10, 7/10 and 5/10. The rest is shit.

More or less agree. The Dirk Gentle books are pretty nice

Beautiful book, more so given its publication date of 1979. Funny and witty to boot.

That's not why I'm triggered at all.
If you remember, the answer 42 didn't matter so much as the real question did, for which Earth was constructed to compute.I like how the book is so relevant today, with quantum computers on the horizon, and Trump (Zaphod) being president of the Universe.

>>9444215
Earth was constructed to make sense of the original answer "42"
And so we have it.

I read the first one and found it really funny, but as I got near the end I started losing interest because of how constant and heavy-handed the humor is. So I liked it but there's no way I'll be able to read the three sequels unless I take long breaks between each one. Did anyone else feel like this?

>>9443968
if that's true then Musk is a basic bitch
