First heard "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on late night BBC Radio 4 in 1978. It was comedy, but Douglas Adams' keen observations ring true now as it did then.
"...lots of the people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches.
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from
the trees in the first place."
