突如其来的寂静笼罩了地球。这事实上比噪音更加可怕。有一会儿，什么也没有发生。 巨大的飞船一动不动地挂在空中，覆盖了地球上的每个国家。 在黯然退场之前，地球首先被改造成了最终极的声音重放器件，这是有史以来建造过的最伟大的播音系统。但伴之而来的不是演奏会，不是音乐，没有开场号曲，而仅仅是一条简短的信息。 “地球人注意了。”一个声音说，这声音堪称完美，仿佛来自四声道系统，完美得无懈可击，失真度低得能让勇敢的男人洒下眼泪。“这里是银河超空间规划委员会。诸位无疑已经知道，银河系边远地区的开发规划要求建造一条穿过贵恒星系的超空间快速通道，令人遗憾的是，贵行星属于计划中预定毁灭的星球之一。毁灭过程将在略少于贵地球时间两分钟后开始。谢谢合作。”

One of the best sci-fi novels ever written.

Most of the fun stems from its unpredictability. There are also some hilarious quotes in here. But, besides its gags, it doesn't have a lot to offer. The only theme to it is that (human) life is largely insignificant. But it's only explored superficially. Especially when rereading, the book can become somewhat of a bore.

A really enjoyable read. I always thought this book was the Hitchhikers Guide, but in fact that book features in the story. I loved the concept of The Restaurant at the End of The Universe....
