“Hitchhiking in the Galaxy”, starting as a radio feeding on the BBC, was a grand success. The novel of the same name in 1984 headed the list of English bestsellers, and Adams himself became the youngest writer, who received the Golden Handle awarded for 1 million books sold.
The 1982 telepostation has strengthened the success of a series of books about “Autostop”, and the full -length film of 2005 with a budget of $ 50 million. Twice “repelled” expenses for film adaptation and was nominated for 7 prizes.
The popularity of the satirical “trilogy in five parts” spilled into the musical and computer industry. So, the groups Radiohead, Coldplay, Nofx use quotes from Roman Adams, and Level 42 is named after the main storyline of the novel.
The heroes of the no less cult film “People in Black” shamelessly use the sarcastic dialogs of Adams’s characters.
