Douglas Noel Adams (11 March 1952 – 11 May 2001) was an English writer and dramatist. He is best known as the author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which started life in 1978 as a BBC radio comedy before developing into a "trilogy" of five books that sold over 15 million copies in his lifetime, a television series, several stage plays, comics, a computer game, and in 2005 a feature film. Adams's contribution to UK radio is commemorated in The Radio Academy's Hall of Fame.
Adams also wrote Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (1987) and The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (1988), and co-wrote The Meaning of Liff (1983), Last Chance to See (1990), and three stories for the television series Doctor Who. A posthumous collection of his work, including an unfinished novel, was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002.
Adams became known as an advocate for environmental and conservation causes, and also as a lover of fast cars, cameras, and the Apple Macintosh. He was a staunch atheist, famously imagining a sentient puddle who wakes up one morning and thinks, "This is an interesting world I find myself in—an interesting hole I find myself in—fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!" Biologist Richard Dawkins dedicated his book, The God Delusion (2006), to Adams, writing on his death that, "Science has lost a friend, literature has lost a luminary, the mountain gorilla and the black rhino have lost a gallant defender."

Famous quotes by Douglas Adams:
"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair"
"If somebody thinks they're a hedgehog, presumably you just give 'em a mirror and a few pictures of hedgehogs and tell them to sort it out for themselves."
"I'm spending a year dead for tax reasons."
"'This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'"
"In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground."
"We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem."
"There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened."
"I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be."
"He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher...or, as his wife would have it, an idiot."
"The Answer to the Great Question Of.....Life, the Universe and Everything.....(is) Forty-two."
"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"You live and learn. At any rate, you live."
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."
"It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes."
"Life is wasted on the living."
"For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen."
"The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate."
"The difficulty with this conversation is that it's very different from most of the ones I've had of late. Which, as I explained, have mostly been with trees."
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

An interview with Douglas AdamsAn interview with Douglas Adams
Douglas Adams was a writer and author best known for “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. Sadly, he died of a massive heart attack in 2001 aged only 49. Each year, fans of his work celebrate the 25th of May (or “Towel Day”) as a tribute to the author. This clip is from a 1999 interview when Douglas Adams spoke to ABC Science show presenter Robyn William about Y2K, the future of computer games and the future of the computer itself. At the time, the world was preparing for January 1, 2000 (Y2K), when the vast library of computer software that used just 2 digits to describe the year would be unable to tell the difference between 1900 and 2 -

For Douglas Adams's 42nd birthday his friend David Gilmour gave him the opportunity to join Pink Floyd on stage during their 1994 tour live at Earls Court in London. Douglas played rhythm guitar on the tracks Eclipse and Brain Damage. While it was always known by Douglas' family that the concert had been filmed by someone in the audience, the tape of the event could never be found. That is, until now. Douglas' brother James Thrift finally unearthed the tape in the authors Islington home, and so, at last it is here for you'll to enjoy. The sound quality is as you might expect from a 20 year old handheld video recording of a live concert, but -

An interview with Douglas Adams
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 5:18
- Updated: 21 May 2015
Douglas Adams was a writer and author best known for “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. Sadly, he died of a massive heart attack in 2001 aged only 49. Each year, fans of his work celebrate the 25th of May (or “Towel Day”) as a tribute to the author.
This clip is from a 1999 interview when Douglas Adams spoke to ABC Science show presenter Robyn William about Y2K, the future of computer games and the future of the computer itself.
At the time, the world was preparing for January 1, 2000 (Y2K), when the vast library of computer software that used just 2 digits to describe the year would be unable to tell the difference between 1900 and 2000, and therefore suddenly malfunction in unforeseen ways.
As Douglas Adams pointed out - the computer industry was the one industry in the world that failed to predict that the century was going to end!
(Fortunately, copious amounts of money spent on software upgrades meant that the Y2K risk was averted).
In the interview Douglas Adams also talked about his computer game “Starship Titanic”, the economics of computer games, and the future of computers.
“Computers are still technology – because we are still wrestling with it – it’s still being invented, we’re still trying to work out how it works. There’s a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn’t recognise. It’s time for the machines to disappear. The computer’s got to disappear into all of the things we use.”
Some of what Douglas Adams was talking about has already come to pass. Most of us no longer ever think about the computer inside our smart phones and tablets.
In 2015, Google chairman Eric Schmidt said something similar about the Internet. Once a technology becomes ubiquitous, it becomes invisible.

Douglas Adams live on stage with Pink Floyd

- Duration: 7:09
- Updated: 10 Mar 2015
For Douglas Adams's 42nd birthday his friend David Gilmour gave him the opportunity to join Pink Floyd on stage during their 1994 tour live at Earls Court in London. Douglas played rhythm guitar on the tracks Eclipse and Brain Damage. While it was always known by Douglas' family that the concert had been filmed by someone in the audience, the tape of the event could never be found. That is, until now.
Douglas' brother James Thrift finally unearthed the tape in the authors Islington home, and so, at last it is here for you'll to enjoy. The sound quality is as you might expect from a 20 year old handheld video recording of a live concert, but at the end of the day, who cares.
This is Douglas Adams and Pink Floyd, on stage, together. Enjoy.

Douglas Adams sits down for what is most likely his last television interview in May of 2001. The interview was conducted in California just days before his tragic passing. Story directed and edited by Barton Bishoff. Story first appeared on Tech Now! a Silicon Valley-based news magazine show about high-tech. I really liked the British TV Show but the most recent movie didn't really work despite the wonderful Zooey Deschanel. It's also very strange that this video started a 3 year long religious argument. Why? He's just a guy who wrote some humorous books that satire bureaucracy. -
