The answer to the question “Who wrote The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” is none other than Douglas Adams. Born Douglas Noel Adams on March 11, 1952 in Cambridge, England, he started his professional career as a writer in 1974 when he moved back to London after he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature.
Before The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was created as a novel, it started as a comedy science fiction show which he created and aired on BBC Radio 4 from 1978 to 1980. The novel was only published on October 12, 1979 by Pan Books and it became the Sunday Times best seller in 1979. The novel was adapted into a TV series and ran from January 05 to February 09, 1981.
