A posthumous collection of essays and other material, including an incomplete novel, was published as The Salmon of Doubt in 2002.

He was known to some fans as Bop Ad (after his illegible signature), or by his initials 'DNA'. The series has also been adapted for live theatre using various scripts the earliest such productions used material newly written by Adams. Hitchhiker's began on radio, and developed into a 'trilogy' of five books (which sold more than fifteen million copies during his lifetime) as well as a television series, a comic book series, a computer game, and a feature film that was completed after Adams' death.
