β€˜Douglas Adams’ Review: Why Can’t Futurism Be Funny? The author of β€˜The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ is celebrated for his inventive whimsy. But Adams’s far-sighted ideas about humanity were no joke.

So the @wsj.com just published what looks like a very thoughtful review on my book about #DouglasAdams - but I don't have a subscription to the WSJ, so can't read it! Help?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.
