β¦ Synopsis
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, author Douglas Adams famously proposed that the answer to the question "What is the meaning of Life?" was the number 42. Why that number? Over the years, many theories have been put forward, but Adams steadfastly refused to clarify. It has taken a dedicated fan and investigator, Peter Gill, ten years to establish just why 42 is the answer. In this brilliantly detailed, maniacally meticulous and hilariously offbeat volume,Gill gives us a whole range of reasons why 42 really is the answer.

- Channel 42 in the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, where Stephen King stayed prior to writing The Shining, shows Kubrick's film of the book in one non-stop loop.
