The Definitive Hitchhiker's Guide

The thing is, there's really no definitive Hitchhiker's Guide story, what with the radio series, television show, play, Infocom adventure, comic book, new radio series and so forth. IMO, except for the radio show, they're all adaptations, and considering how you might have discovered H2G2 yourself, even the radio series is merely an adaptation.

What I like about that is it resembles what I presume to be the sort of natural progression which storytelling had prior to copyrights and patents, albeit all within an individual.
