Best to you !FlyingSquid@lemmy.world. Brilliant Quote by a brilliant author. Douglas Adams, you were gone too soon. At least we have your corpus. Perhaps it’s time to re-read The Guide.
A client, could be 15 - 20 years ago handed me a version of the radio series on cassette tape. I wonder if / where that is now. I remember the quote, and so many quotes from DA’s works. When I was in undergrad, there was an HGG game on the university’s mainframe. It was all command line interface. I never got past getting the babel fish in my ear, lol.
The whole thing is available on the Internet Archive if you’re interested. There were some follow-up radio series done in the 2000s to cover the other books with most of the original cast (some, including Peter “The Book” Jones had passed away), but I don’t think they’re anywhere near as good. Adams, obviously, didn’t write the scripts. The person who wrote them understood Adams, but couldn’t quite replicate him.
2002 is what it says on the cassettes. Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time. I was able to go right to the bookshelf where it resides. LoL at the top, Hastings Your Entertainment Superstore.

Technically, that was from the radio series, which came first. But I love the books just as much.
