Deep Thought

Pan-Dimension.

Forty-two.

FUTURE WORK

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This is a little homage from the editors of the Journal of Geek Studies to Douglas Adams, one of the most influential authors in geekdom. This is the forty-second article in the history of the Journal, so this seemed rather appropriate. Don’t panic, and always know where your towel is.
