A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy brims with the seemingly impossible, but if you look below the surface, it is one of the more profound books of the late 20th century. If you go looking for God, one day you too may discover that God comes to those with a heart of gold, and it runs on an infinite improbability drive. Should any of you run directly into God one day, remember the words written in large capital letters on the front of the book: DONT PANIC. J.K. Rowling writes: There is no such thing as good or evil, only power, and those too weak to seek it. This is philosophical gold. While a prisoner of war, Kurt Vonnegut witnessed the bombing of Dresden, and would later write in his book, Slaughterhouse Five, “How nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.” A great deal could be said of that insight, but we have all seen Star Wars and learned much from Yoda... Right?
