The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams continues the absurd adventures of Arthur Dent after Earth’s destruction. Alongside Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, and the perpetually miserable robot Marvin, Arthur hurtles through space encountering time travel, cosmic bureaucracy and existential jokes. The novel satirises science fiction, politics and philosophy with manic humour, asking big questions about meaning and fate while insisting that the universe is mostly chaotic, indifferent and very funny.
