This is the story of Arthur Dent, who, seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, is plucked off the planet by his friend, Ford Prefect, who has been posing as an out-of-work actor for the last fifteen years but is really a researcher for the revised edition of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Together they begin a journey through the galaxy aided by quotes from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", with the words "don't panic" written on the front. ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.")
