vagabundo [1.1K]

For these questions, we must read the novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," focusing on Arthur and Ford Prefect, as well as the supercomputers.

  • Arthur and Ford Prefect avoid death when they are rescued by a spaceship called Heart of Gold.
  • The second supercomputer trying to answer the question about life, the universe, and everything is planet Earth.
  • When Earth was about to give its answer, it was destroyed by the Vogons.

<h3>What happens in the novel?</h3>

The famous science-fiction novel "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has Arthur as its main character. The almost nonsensical story is filled with twists as we find out that our planet Earth is simply a supercomputer built to answer he question about life, the universe, and everything. It evolved so much that organic life became a part of it. Here on Earth, the most intelligent species are actually the mice, not us humans.

However, Earth is destroyed, and Arthur is one of the two people who survive. In his adventures in outer space, Arthur meets several alien species and undergoes comical hardships.

After reading the novel, we can provide the following answers to the questions:

  • Arthur and Ford Prefect avoid death when they are rescued by a spaceship called Heart of Gold.
  • The second supercomputer trying to answer the question about life, the universe, and everything is planet Earth.
  • When Earth was about to give its answer, it was destroyed by the Vogons.
