Author Adams, Douglas
Svjetsku je slavu stekao zahvaljujući znanstveno-fantastičnom romanu, remek djelu «Vodič kroz galaksiju za autostopere» (The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy), prodanom u više od 15 milijuna primjeraka u cijelom svijetu. Ponukan njegovim uspjehom Adams je napisao i nekoliko nastavaka poput «Restorana na kraju svemira», «Doviđenja, i hvala za sve one ribe», «Život, univerzum i sve ostalo», a po njemu je snimljena i TV serija, postavljana kazališna predstava, a Adams je pred smrt radio i na scenariju za film.
Jedna od tajni njegovog uspjeha jest ono famozno nadrealističko spajanje nespojivog. Adams je spojio science fiction, prije njega žanr zamorno ozbiljan, s fascinantnim engleskim humorom.
Umro je 2001. godine u SAD-u od srčanog udara u 49. godini života i iza sebe ostavio ožalošćeno mnoštvo obožavatelja svojeg djela.
