This is my mistake,.I went through a Heinlein phase and this one was the last straw for me.I may have had some bleedover from his other books, where I recall his treatment of women sucked ass, was pretty incestuous, and always features promiscuous red heads. I did really like “the moon is a harsh mistress” even if I think libitarism is purile.

I still think stranger is just a Jesus story (it’s been ages), where hhgtg didn’t have a point except maybe you are at the mercy of the universe, and God is sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m not sure how you got that message, Arthur specifically isn’t even aware of his friend being an alien when his house is demolished. He kind of just faces what’s next in terror, at least until the fenchurch bits. Even when he’s stuck on earth I wouldn’t say he’s having a good time.

I’m not sure hhgttg recommends incest with large breasted red heads as much as stranger in a strange land.

I guess I’ll bite, what’s the message?
