Douglas Noël Adams (11 March 1952 11 May 2001) was an En-
glish author, comic radio dramatist, and musician. He is best
known as the author of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
Hitchhiker's began on radio, and developed into a "trilogy" of five
books (which sold more than fifteen million copies during his life-
time) as well as a television series, a comic book series, a computer
game, and a feature film that was completed after Adams' death.
The series has also been adapted for live theatre using various
scripts; the earliest such productions used material newly written
by Adams. He was known to some fans as Bop Ad (after his illegi-
ble signature), or by his initials `DNA'; he was born the year before
the elucidation of the structure of "the meaning of life" or D.N.A. by
Francis Crick and James Watson in Cambridge i.e. where he was
born.
In addition to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
wrote or co-wrote three stories of the science fiction television se-
ries Doctor Who and served as Script Editor during the seventeenth
season. His other written works include the Dirk Gently novels,
and he co-wrote two Liff books and Last Chance to See, itself based
on a radio series. Adams also originated the idea for the computer
game Starship Titanic, which was produced by a company that
Adams co-founded, and adapted into a novel by Terry Jones. A
posthumous collection of essays and other material, including an
incomplete novel, was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002.
His fans and friends also knew Adams as an environmental ac-
tivist, a self-described `radical atheist', and a lover of fast cars,
cameras, the Macintosh computer, and other `techno gizmos'. The
biologist Richard Dawkins dedicated his book The God Delusion
to Douglas Adams and in it described how Adams came to un-
derstand evolution. Douglas was a keen technologist, writing
about such topics as e-mail and Usenet before they became widely
known. Toward the end of his life he was a sought-after lecturer
on topics including technology and the environment.
