这本书主要探讨群众运动的一些共有特征，重点是陷入狂热的乌合之众的人格。长期与下层民众打交道的生活经历使作者发现，积极投身群众运动的往往是一些失意者。他们认为自己的生活已无可救药地失败，渴望逃离自我寻求重生，将生命托付给某项神圣伟业让他们感觉不错，整齐划一的集体生活令个人的责任、恐惧、无能得以掩埋。运动的领导者则刻意培养参与者的罪恶感，号召自我牺牲以获救赎。
自1951年出版后，《狂热分子》即被视为社会科学领域的经典之作，短期内行销50万册以上，被译成10余种语言，是多所大学政治系的必读书。书中俯拾皆是充满智慧的思想火花与一针见血的比喻，风格酷似法国思想家蒙田与帕斯卡尔的随笔。至今，其佳言警句仍不断被引用、辑录。

宇宙尽头的餐馆是餐饮史上最了不起的风险投资，整个餐馆被一个巨大的时间泡包裹，并沿时间轴向前投射至宇宙终结的那个时刻。
餐馆里，客人各自挑选座位坐下，吃着美食，观看整个宇宙在周围爆炸。
你可以随意就座，无需预约，因为你可以返回原先时间后再补订；你愿意来多少次就可以来多少次，但要确定千万别遇见自己；同时，你需要做的不过是在自己所在的时代开个储蓄账户，存下一分钱，等抵达时间尽头的时候，所得的复利足以保证你付得起账单。
为此，混球星系的广告公司的口号是：如果今天早晨你已经做了六件不可能的事情，那就干脆来宇宙尽头的“豪河”餐馆吃顿早饭吧！
“黄金之心”号的乘员们正有此意。比起逃脱沃贡人的追击，避免被带到银河系最邪恶的星球，以及教飞船学会如何冲一杯好茶，这实在是件不足挂齿的小事。
说真的，有谁预约过吗？

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Douban
"DOUGLAS ADAMS IS A TERRIFIC SATIRIST."
--The Washington Post Book World
Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his curious comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability--and desperately in search of a place to eat.
Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.
Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that the Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term "Future Perfect" from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!
"What's such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams' sardonically silly eyes."
