Títulos em Exploração Espacial

Este é o primeiro título da famosa série escrita por Douglas Adams, que conta as aventuras espaciais do inglês Arthur Dent e de seu amigo Ford Prefect. A dupla escapa da destruição da Terra pegando carona numa nave alienígena, graças aos conhecimentos de Prefect, um E.T. que vivia disfarçado de ator desempregado enquanto fazia pesquisa de campo para a nova edição do Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias, o melhor guia de viagens interplanetário.

Praticamente Inofensiva é tão polêmico quanto seu criador. Muitos o consideram o último volume da série O Mochileiro das Galáxias e outros afirmam tratar-se de um título independente, que apenas utiliza os mesmos personagens. Parte dessa controvérsia se deve aos 13 anos que separam este livro da primeira aventura de Arthur Dent, já que Adams iniciou a coleção no final dos anos 1970 e somente em 1992 retomou a história.
