The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time

This book is a combination collection of essays/speeches, short stories, and the last incomplete novel of Douglas Adams. Reading it made me sad all over again that the world lost such a brilliant mind so suddenly and tragically. In this collection, you can feel his passionate love for the environment and technology and his hopes for their coexistence. You also get a healthy smattering of what might have been in had he lived to follow through on some of his ideas. I've put off reading this book for a while because I knew it would make me sad, but I'm glad to have read it.
