What a bad one. I met him once, he was a former pupil at my school and
came back to give a talk shortly after "Hitch-Hiker" took off. Aside from the
invention and wit of his writing, he was a relentlessly curious individual who
absorbed a huge amount about computer tech, artificial intelligence,
quantum theory and cutting-edge science in general. Had he lived I'm sure
all this would have been the foundation for some really exciting projects.
Very sad.
