“‘... fine weather for the concert here this afternoon. I’m standing here in front of the stage,’ the reporter lied, ‘in the middle of the Rudlit Desert, and with the aid of hyperbinoptic glasses I can just about make out the huge audience cowering there on the horizon all around me. Behind me the speaker stacks rise like a sheer cliff face, and high above me the sun is shining away and doesn’t know what’s going to hit it. The environmentalist lobby do know what’s going to hit it, and they claim that the concert will cause earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes, irreparable damage to the atmosphere and all the usual things the environmentalists usually go on about.’”
— Douglas Adams, ‘The Restaurant at the End of the Universe’
