You're kind of in denial if you don't see that stuff in Adams I mean you know he was BFFs with Dawkins

The thing that might have stopped Adams from going bad is that he seemed to realize later in his career that his nihilistic comedy side was at odds with his environmentalist and humanist sides. Might have. I hope it would have.

I agree. I was always struck by what seemed to me as a kid to be a pretty radical shift in intent the HHGG series takes with the introduction of Fenchurch.

And another radical shift when Fenchurch disappears.

Corresponding roughly to when Adams met his second wife irl and when he separated from her

And then he did, in fact, get back together with her, which is why he wanted to write a sixth book (The Salmon of Doubt) to finish out the series on a positive note But then he died

It sounds like The Salmon of Doubt would've been a crossover linking HHGG with the Dirk Gently books too, which would've been interesting, since that's where Adams' humanist side really started coming out

Yeah, especially with the Dodo sequence in Dirk Gently. I always found that part so haunting

Or the big twist with rescuing the music as the works of Bach

Or the unnamed haunting thing he was getting at in the sequel, with all the homeless people who are secretly the ancient gods, left behind by a changing world

He could be so beautifully lyric when he wrote, truly. When he wasn’t being funny he could really break your heart
