This book contains the original text of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, in which five characters travel through the galaxy aided by a book that contains all the information in the universe: the Guide.

This edition also contains illustrations on the first page of every chapter. These illustrations, examples of pixel art, the formatting and typeface of the text emphasize the influence of the 'digital world' in the plot of the book. There are also smaller books inside this book, which contain the entries of the Guide, and a tracing paper dust jacket over the cardboard cover of the book.
