About the Book
Arthur, Ford, Zaphod, and Trillian continue their absurd journey through time and space, visiting Milliways the restaurant at the literally apocalyptic end of the universe while Zaphod pursues the man who rules the universe and Arthur and Ford accidentally end up stranded on prehistoric Earth. More episodic than its predecessor but equally committed to comic invention and satirical irreverence. The series hits its satirical peak in the middle books.

Light Themes
The book continues the series' satirical examination of meaninglessness, bureaucracy, and the self-importance of human civilization. The tone remains uniformly comic.

No Violence
Cosmic catastrophe is played for laughs. Violence does not occur meaningfully.
