13th Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture - Neil Gaiman 2015

Ok, for those who don't know I'm a huge fan of Douglas Adams, and this year Neil Gaiman gave the annual lecture for Save the Rhino International. Here's the link and the description, and if you have the time (the lecture is an hour, the Q&A 30 minutes) I highly recommend that you watch and listen ...

One of the words that most accurately describes Douglas Adams' works is "timeless". In his lecture on "Immortality and Douglas Adams", Neil Gaiman will speak about the enduring nature of Adams' vision and imagination, the impact of the internet and eBooks on storytelling as a whole, and why stories can sometimes outlive us all.

This is the 13th Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture in the series.


The Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture is held each year in honour of Save the Rhino founder patron Douglas Adams, who was a dedicated spokesperson for conservation right up until his death in 2001 at the age of 49.You can read more about Douglas and his interest in conservation here:



The lecture is held in aid of two charities, Save the Rhino and the Environmental Investigation Agency. You can help support these causes.
