The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Future
I’ve been listening to Douglas Adams at the BBC which has clips from various series he was involved with, and it pointed out how much of a futurist and technologist he was (although one that realised the down side of technology – as he quotes Bran Ferren “”Technology is a word that describes something that…
