There's a lot of love for the Hitchhiker's Guide in this thread, but I thought I'd throw in "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency." I've read this maybe more times than the Hitchhiker books, and I'm not sure why. I also get very excited every time I hear of another possible adaptation; even if the end result isn't…
Yes! I found this in the library in middle school and would just sit on the floor in the stacks and read it over and over. Still do read it at least once a year.
Very sad. Though why is this article just a transcription of the video footage?
This makes the book eminently recommendable to all kinds of different readers, even sci-fi-phobes.
Annalee, in your review, you mentioned the line "Slowly the history of exploring Area X could be said to be turning into Area X." I actually underlined the same line in my copy of the book. I've always been a sucker for narratives that explore how our perception of something, as guided by the language we use to…

I don't know if this is a comedy, but it certainly captures something really difficult to pin down about geek culture:
I always hate to be the "you missed my favorite one!" guy, but in this case, you missed arguably the biggest one: known as "The Beast," it was the alternate reality game tied to the movie "A.I. Artificial Intelligence." Unless I'm mistaken about the thrust of this article, this is a pretty big oversight...
Put your money on the ticket counter. Buying a ticket for this film is the right choice for your money.
...then Disney apparently learned some important lessons about story and character from Pixar for "Frozen."
The cast could be described as MASSIVE:
Haha perfect.
This quote, to me, sums up why Cuaron is one of the greats in sci-fi storytelling through cinema. "Children of Men" obviously adheres very strongly to this philosophy as well. In fact, "A Little Princess" mostly does too, now that I think about it...
This giant gavel is a few blocks from my office, and I keep seeing photos of it to illustrate blog posts about the law, my favorite being this one about pizza.

Along the same lines...
This is so fantastic. Does this exist in the form of a blog post or something? I'd probably want to read more from the mind that brought me this.
