Mostly Harmless
by Douglas Adams
The final book of Douglas Adams' five volume Hitchhiker's Trilogy brings the story of Arthur Dent to a messy - as would be expected - conclusion. Amidst the zaniness, Adams offers perhaps his most intuitive missive into the human condition. No spoilers but it's on page 164.
This is also the most straightforward science fiction of the books, stressing the word science. Adams plays with the concept of multiple parallel realities (the multiverse) unapologetically, twisting his plot through them and expecting the reader to keep up. It all makes sense in the end - even to Arthur Dent.
Taken as a whole the Trilogy is good fun, well written, and even oddly prophetic. Grab a towel and hang on.
