'''''So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish''''' is the fourth installment in the [[Trilogy Creep|increasingly inaccurately named]] ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' trilogy; it's set eight years since the beginning of the first book, but the amount of time that has passed between the end of the third, ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/Life, The Universe And Everything|Life The Universe And Everything]]'', and the beginning of this one is not made clear. The plot concerns series protagonist Arthur Dent, who is ''very'' surprised to discover that his homeworld, planet Earth, seems to have suddenly sprung back into existence even though the alien Vogons destroyed it eight years ago to make way for an interstellar bypass.▼

The plot concerns series protagonist Arthur Dent, who is ''very'' surprised to discover that his homeworld, planet Earth, seems to have suddenly sprung back into existence even though the alien Vogons destroyed it eight years ago to make way for an interstellar bypass.
He explores his old Islington home and, seeing everything back where it should be, starts to suspect that his memories of space travel [[All Just a Dream|may have been nothing more than hallucinations]]; after all, the people say, a nearby water source was found to be accidentally contaminated by hallucinogens. Arthur returns to his old ways and even strikes up a meaningful romance with Fenchurch, a beautiful young woman who seems just right for him. However, something is not quite right. Every dolphin on Earth seems to have mysteriously disappeared, as has his old friend Ford Prefect, and the appearance of a strange fishbowl on his doorstep sends Arthur, and Fenchurch, on a quest to discover the truth...
