Re: A century has passed!

I figured it would not be a happy book. Sheesh.

and now across America parents are having this conversation

DAD: Hey, Mark Twain's autobiography is coming out!
KID: Who's Mark Twain?
DAD: Who's Mark Twain?? How can you not know who Mark Twain is?
KID: So, who was he?
DAD: He wrote Tom Sawyer!
KID: So?
DAD: How can you not know Tom Sawyer? That book was awesome!
KID: So? What happened?
DAD: Well he had all kinds of adventures! He and his friends loved to beat up wimps for no reason, and they hid out in caves pretending to be pirates, and their folks thought they were dead, and...Never mind it sucked.  Go watch TV.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
