This is the last entry of the Compiler Design Course and it has been unbelievable all the adventures that Arthur Dent has had during the book titled "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", written by Douglas Adams in 1979. Starting with having a normal life and then, some moments later, traveling through the space because the Earth was going to disappear. He obviously received the help of someone to save his life, but will it be worthy?
You will need to read it to know it!
One thing that I will say is, you should write down in Google or ask Siri, Cortana, Alexa, Google Voice, etc. the next question: "What's the meaning of life?". Maybe you will receive the answer "42" after one or more tries. Why? Well, you should read the book to find it (I highly recommend it).
Although this book doesn't have many references to computer science, it has been really cool to read it and have a good time while laughing and having some suspense in each chapter of the book. It is an obligated book for any person that likes science fiction. It's unpredictability makes it even more fun, and it is so easy to read that you will finish in less time that you think. The trama keeps you interested to know what will happen next.
To finish this comment, I want to thank the professor that asked me to read this book because I really enjoyed it and maybe I wouldn't had ever read it because I didn't had any clue that it existed. My interpretation on why 42, is that no matter what, there will be a time when computers will do operations on which the seed will be the human, but its only going to be just that, anything that happens next is not going to be known for the human, just the answer of such computation.
