This book makes an excellent companion piece-in-spirit to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. Expanding on the themes of stranded aliens, Hardy uses his his parched-dry humor to eviscerate popular culture, relationships, religion and anything and everything else. The illustrations by Tony Steele are enjoyable as well. The only complaints I had were that, in PDF format, the flowchart at the end was blurry, though not illegible. Still, worth reading for the highly entertaining, if not accurate, index alone.
