A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy La serie de libros se describe como «una trilogía en cinco partes». Inicialmente se describió como una trilogía al aparecer el tercer libro, «una trilogía de cuatro partes» al salir el cuarto, y finalmente adoptó esa descripción al editarse el quinto y último libro. Aunque las diferentes versiones siguen la misma trama básica, se contradicen entre sí de diferentes formas, porque Adams reinventaba la historia con cada adaptación. La saga tiene muchos seguidores en todo el mundo, debido principalmente a las extrañas situaciones, personajes y conceptos que Adams introduce (como "El sentido de la vida, el universo y todo lo demás", el pez de Babel o la poesía Vogon), su humor irónico y absurdo, y los comentarios sutiles sobre la sociedad actual. Sinopsis[editar] Las tramas de las series de televisión y de radio son más o menos iguales a las de las primeras dos novelas, aunque algunos de los eventos ocurren en diferente orden y con muchos detalles modificados. Personajes[editar] Marvin[editar]
