Douglas Adams is even more of a legend than you knew

Not only did he write the Hitchhiker’s guide but he also:

1) Wrote some other books (OK, he was an author, you would kind of expect that, but some of them are actually good).
2) Wrote 3 episodes of Dr Who (Sci Fi writer in writing Sci-Fi shocker. But I like Dr Who, and I like Douglas Adams, so it goes on the list).
3) Was a “radical atheist” (his words not mine) way way before it was cool to be one.
4) Was an environmental activist way way before it was cool to be one. Last Chance to See was a great book
5) He knew how to make a proper cup of tea
6) And now it transpires that he knew more about the internet 10 years ago than you do today. The insights in How to stop worrying and learn to love the internet, were it written today, would be a revelation to most people – that it was written over 10 years ago is mind-boggling.

He may have died 10 years ago today, but he lives on in many people’s hearts.
