Excellent teaser for the 2010 version of the Design Week In Vancouver. For more info visit their website here.

English writer, dramatist and musician Douglas Adams, best known for his novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy delivers one of the most inspiring talks I have ever seen. 

In a clumsy and ludic manner and often cheeky and satiric, Adams engages the audience with his particular perspective or the world. Forget about best-selling novels or hollywood tales, this intimate conversation couldn't be further away from this type of trivialities, yet it's introduced as if it was. Until you realise you are 45 minutes in and there are 40 to go and you wish there were another 90 minutes left instead. 

The beauty and value of this piece resides in the fact that it does not intend to change the way you feel or think about a specific topic. It just aims to reach you. And by doing so, it touches you and makes you listen and reflect on whatever it is that we are doing with ourselves in this planet. 

And yes, by the end of it you will change the way you feel and think about things...

Beware it is 90' long (but worth every second!)
