About The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, having started as a radio show on the BBC, was a huge success. The novel of the same name in 1984 topped the list of English bestsellers, and Adams himself became the youngest writer to receive the Golden Pen award, presented for 1 million books sold. The 1982 television production strengthened the success of the Hitchhiker’s book series, and the 2005 feature film with a budget of $ 50 million, twice «recouped» the cost of the film adaptation and was nominated for 7 awards. The popularity of the satirical «trilogy in five parts» spilled into the music and computer industry. For example, the groups Radiohead, Coldplay, NOFX use quotes from Adams ‘novel, and Level 42 is named after the main storyline of the novel. The heroes of the equally cult film «Men in Black» shamelessly use the sarcastic dialogues of Adams’ characters.
