Douglas Adams - hyperland - Google Video

This is a wee bit long but it is fascinatingly prescient in its view of what became the World Wide Web. Douglas Adams was the author of the Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy and several other notable, innovative, humourous books, along with radio and TV scripts for the BBC.

Fans of Douglas Adams will point out that, in amongst his humourous writings, there were often ideas that were bizarre and yet had this core of brilliant imagination and foresight. This mockumentary illustrates much of what has become staple to the net. If you're not a fan of Adams' dry British humour, you might find this a bit flat...but for Adams' fans, this is a fun 50 minutes.
