On being a Hitchhiker

In keeping up with the times and the upcoming movie from one of my favourite authors, the late Douglas Adams - who shared the same birthday as me, can you tell that I'm proud of it? - I'm flipping through pages of his books once more, discussing the many smart lines over and over again. Look at what I've discovered. Page 133 of The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. "Hey, will you get this Earthman," interrupted Zaphod. "You are a last generation product of that computer matrix, right, and you were there right up to the moment your planet got the finger, yeah?" Behold the word in bold. Trillian, Trinity. Earth being a computer and people living within the computer matrix itself. A concidence or merely a hitch ride by script writers of the Keanu Reeves movie? Maybe we can now finally give a name to the architect, Deep Thought.
