- Adams famously came up with the need for a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy while lying drunk and poor in a field in Innsbruck, Austria, while backpacking around Europe before going to university.
- In a wonderful twist in keeping with the book’s opening premise of Earth being demolished to make way for a motorway, the Innsbruck field has since been paved over to make way for a stretch of autobahn.
- There is some disagreement as to the correct writing of the book’s title, notably in the book itself, where it ranges from Hitch-hiker’s to Hitchhiker’s and Hitch Hiker’s, with and without apostrophes, depending on whether you are looking at the cover, the spine, the contents, the radio outline, or the American version.
- Arthur Dent was to be called Aleric B before a last-minute replacement in the script outline Adams pitched to the BBC. He had originally thought of writing six episodes in which the Earth ended differently each time, but needed a means of explaining the universe at which point he remembered his idea from Innsbruck.
Aug 23, 2023 · When Douglas Adams died in 2001, he left behind 60 boxes full of notebooks, letters, scripts, jokes, speeches and even poems. In 42, compiled by Douglas’s long-time collaborator Kevin Jon Davies, hundreds of these personal artefacts appear in print for the very first time.
