The Google doodle showcases one of Adams most well-known works "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" - a comic science fiction series with its movie adaptation in 2005.

Douglas Adams wrote some of the best English novels at his time, with some of his books selling more than 15 million copies worldwide.
