Armados de la Guía del autoestopista galáctico, los protagonistas del libro más divertido que se recuerda continúan sus disparatadas aventuras. En esta segunda entrega se enfrentan a una tetera automática de la que mana un líquido asqueroso, al planeta condenado porque sus habitantes tienen más zapaterías de la cuenta, a un transporte espacial cuyos pasajeros llevan novecientos años esperando que la nave arranque, y luego al Restaurante del fin del mundo, situado en el momento del tiempo en el que el universo llega a su estrepitoso final: un inusitado número de cabaret. No termina ahí su odisea, porque a continuación viven otra aventura que les revelará el verdadero origen de la especie humana: una pandilla de ejecutivos de poca monta que fueron expulsados de su planeta por indeseables.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

This novel "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" is the second novel of a series of novels.
An earlier (and quite different) version of this story was written by Adams for series 2 of the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" radio programme, broadcast Christmas 1978 (one episode) and January 1980 (five episodes).
For this October 1980 novel by Adams, episodes from the radio programme were adapted:
The six episodes of radio series 2 are very substantially reworked, re-edited, and reduced for the adaptation.
The final pages of the book are actually an adaptation of the fifth and sixth episodes of radio series 1.
