Life, the Universe and Everything

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Content Ratings

No Romance

There is no romantic content; all relationships remain in the comic buddy-adventure frame of the series.

Light Themes

The intended annihilation of all life in the universe by an entire civilization is played for philosophical and comedic purposes; the series' nihilistic playfulness continues.

No Violence

Genocide is the plot driver but rendered entirely in Adams' deadpan absurdist mode; no violence is played for shock or distress.

Synopsis

Arthur and Ford are flung back into the present to discover that the people of Krikkit are building a robot army to restart a genocidal war of extermination against all life in the universe, and the gang must stop them. Slightly darker in premise than its predecessors but no less committed to comic absurdity and wordplay. A satisfying middle entry in the series.
