Online Hitchhiker's Guide Thriving

Posted by samzenpus on from the have-a-towel dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A company bought the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy website (h2g2.com) back in 2011 after the BBC decided to dispose of it as part of a cost saving measure. Although it still isn't a complete guide to to Life, The Universe and Everything, it has just celebrated its 14th birthday as a constantly expanding, user-generated work."

      The psychologist Gag Halfrunt was established as being responsible for ordering the destruction of Earth in the radio series, which was broadcast in 1978; Battlefield Earth wasn't published until 1982. Scepticism of psychology was quite popular at the time because of the misuse of Behaviorism, and the tendency of such misuses to foster the kind of dysfunction normally only found in supremely awful bureaucracies.
