The impact of Douglas Adams’ “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” has been profound. This book has inspired many different adaptations, series, novels, stories, and other forms of media. The story has what you could call a cult-following. I had heard of it before taking this class, but had never gave it a chance. After starting to read the novel, I found the story a little hard to follow, but it eventually grew on me. By the time I finished the book, I was digging it so much that I wanted to watch the 2005 big screen adaptation starring Martin Freeman. I found the film to be very good. This film is just one of many different takes on the Adams’ story. His writing is almost a comedic spin on science-fiction, I would say. His story has almost certainly had a global impact.
