Much of the stuff in Hitchhikers seems to have been a commentary on contemporary times. On a different note, i worked for a while at a local repair shop. And one task i had was to file the various repair manuals they received. They were massive tomes stuffed with wiring diagrams and whatsnot, and usually they came some 10 or more at a time. A corridor wall was basically dedicated to the cabinets to house them.
