Douglas Adams Harmless
Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams focuses on the chaos and potential destruction of the Galaxy. Arthur Dent travels from planet to planet in order to find a new life. Ford Prefect fights the corporate regime. Tricia McMillian has an alien encounter. All three lives help decide the fate of the Galaxy.
In chapter one, the history of the Galaxy is a confusing mess. People try to exceed the speed of light, but it is impossible to do. Only bad news travels faster. People continue to try to exceed the speed of light, especially when sending out battleships. In Galaxy history, real catastrophe began when planets started turning into useless things. In present time, a
Grebulon ship moves through the black void. It makes a click, hum sound. The low-level …show more content…
supervising program and the higher-level supervising work together, but both cannot remember what they are supposed to be supervising. They look, but cannot find the answer. There is an error message. The central mission module is damaged. To replace the module must be done physically. There is a backup module. Robots try to install the backup module, but fall out of the ship and fly off into the void of space.
The computer tries to seal up the hole made by a meteorite, but the ship cannot detect the hole. After major frustration, the ship relaxes. The ship blanks out. The problem is the crew is in hibernation. The crew's memories, identities and understanding are in the ship's central module. The ship lands on a lonely and cold planet. The crew has lost their minds and do not know who is in control. But they find something to monitor and it is gold.
In chapter two, New York is too cold in wintertime and too hot in the summer. Spring in New York is just okay. Fall in
New York is the worst because the air smells of fried goats. Tricia McMillan, a British television anchorwoman, loves
Manhattan. It is a good career move for her. She is a rapidly rising anchor in Britain. Tricia missed a major opportunity in life. The TV station, NBS, needs a new anchorwoman for the U.S./A.M. breakfast show. She hears that a British accent may work on U.S./A.M., which is why she came to New York to audition. To make her TV station in Britain pay for the trip, she reports on a couple stories there. She has contacts and contact numbers. She waits in the hotel, but none of her calls are returned.
There is a message at the hotel front desk from Gail Andrews. But the clerk is stupid and confuses the message. Tricia cannot remember who Gail Andrews is.
The note says "not happy." Tricia cannot figure out what the note means. Gail
Andrews comes up behind her. Tricia goes to her room to freshen up and then meets Gail in the hotel bar. Gail is a famed astrologer to the late president, but people assume she advised him on political matters, which she denies. The operator tells Tricia he has another message for her and it does not make sense again.
Tricia mentally prepares to be tough with Gail. Gail should not be unhappy with her interview because Tricia gives her free publicity. Last week, astronomers found a tenth planet called Persephone, or Rupert for a nickname. Tricia follows this story. Gail has a book called You and Your Planets, which is why Tricia interviewed Gail. Even though people think
Tricia is a fluff reporter, she has a prestigious degree in mathematics and a doctorate in astrophysics.
She leaves her bag in the room and decides not to go back for it. In the bar, Gail explains it is not she who is unhappy, it is Tricia. Tricia is shocked. Gail says Tricia seems very angry and unhappy. Tricia does not know what to say. Tricia finally says she has lost a whole other life. She tells Gail the story of when she met a guy at a party many years ago.
He asks her to go off to another planet with him. She told him she needed to get her bag, and he said she didn't need it. So
Tricia went upstairs to get her bag and when she came down, he was gone. She saw some type of light shoot up into the sky and disappear. The man was definitely from another planet because he had two heads. Gail is the first person who
