So Long, Hitchhiker: Douglas Adams Dead At 49 473

Posted by timothy on Saturday May 12, 2001 @08:33AM from the transcending-earth dept.

Motor was among the first of the hundreds of readers with this sad news: "Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy has died of a heart attack, aged 49." I still remember the first time someone pointed out the Hitchiker's Guide to me, and what a changing point even the first few pages were. It's easy to see he'll be missed.
