  • Le Guide du voyageur galactique (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) est un livre fictif imaginé par l'écrivain britannique Douglas Adams dans sa saga du même nom. Élément central de la série, dans laquelle il sert de fil rouge, c'est un objet électronique, connecté au réseau Sub-Ether et utilisé aussi bien en tant qu'encyclopédie qu'en tant que guide de voyage. Très apprécié des astrostoppeurs, en complément d'un poisson Babel et d'une serviette, il est introduit de manière quasiment identique dans les différentes adaptations de l'œuvre, dont le prologue du premier tome : « C'était sans doute l'ouvrage le plus remarquable jamais publié par les éditeurs de la Petite Ourse. […] Auprès de bon nombre de civilisations parmi les plus peinardes des confins orientaux de l'anneau galactique, Le Guide du voyageur galactique a même supplanté la grande Encyclopædia galactica comme dépositaire classique de la sagesse et de la connaissance. […] Primo, il est légèrement moins cher et, secundo, sur sa couverture on peut lire en larges lettres amicales la mention : PAS DE PANIQUE » — Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Dans les adaptations audio et vidéo du Guide du voyageur galactique, le Guide est généralement interprété en voix-off. Peter Jones est le premier acteur a lui avoir prêté sa voix, dans le premier feuilleton radio en 1978. Il reprend son rôle dans le vinyle, la seconde phase du feuilleton radio et la série télévisée. En 2004, pour les phases trois à cinq du feuilleton, le rôle est assuré par . Pour l'adaptation cinématographique de 2005, la voix du Guide est confiée à Stephen Fry. Dans les versions visuelles de l'œuvre, la voix off est souvent accompagnée d'animations graphiques, réalisées par Rod Lord pour la série télévisée et par le collectif (en) pour le film. En avril 1999, Douglas Adams lance avec sa compagnie The Digital Village le site web h2g2.com, une encyclopédie collaborative en ligne inspirée du Guide (« The guide to life, the universe and everything, written by you »). Le site est racheté par la BBC en 2001 et redevient indépendant en 2011. (fr)

In the original radio scripts, the Guide's voice was called the "Narrator" and in the 2004–2005 series, "The Voice". For all of the radio series and the 1981 TV series, the role was credited as "The Book", though this was changed to "Narrator/The Guide" for the 2005 movie. In the first two phases of the radio series, the LP album adaptations of the first radio series and in the television series, the Guide was voiced by British actor Peter Jones. During the 2004–2005 radio series, The Guide was voiced by William Franklyn. In the film version, it was voiced by Stephen Fry. In the Hexagonal Phase of the radio series, based on the novel, And Another Thing..., the Guide was voiced by the series co-creator John Lloyd. (en)

dbp:text
  • When I originally described The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, over twenty years ago, I was only joking. I didn't see myself as a predictive kind of science fiction writer, like Arthur C. Clarke who more or less single-handedly invented the communications satellite. The Guide was just a narrative device which allowed me to run off at tangents whenever the story seemed to be getting a bit dull. But it turns out that I, inadvertently, had a terribly good idea. The Guide was compiled by researchers roaming round the galaxy, beaming their copy in, which was then instantly available to anybody to read. Over, believe it or not, something called the SubEthaNet. Well, more or less. I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end. But I did have the inkling of an idea that a collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea. I just didn't really realise that such a thing might be possible in my lifetime or how powerful such a thing might be. We're gradually beginning to get some tiny, tiny inkling of how powerful a networked community sharing information really could become. (en)
