The most comprehensive assessment of the energy output in the nearby universe reveals that today's produced energy is only about half of what it was 2 billion years ago. A team of international scientists used several of the world's most powerful telescopes to study the energy of the universe and concluded that the universe is slowly dying.
"We used as many space- and ground-based telescopes as we could get our hands on to measure the energy output of over 200,000 galaxies across as broad a wavelength range as possible," Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) team leader Simon Driver, of the University of Western Australia, said in a statement. The astronomers created a video explaining the slow death of the universe to illustrate the discovery.

**Spoiler Alert**
A bit dystopian? The end result being the "Final Destruction" of earth, so some bureaucrat can check off his list. What's more, is that the destruction of the earth wasn't good enough, they also killed off, Arthur, Trillian, Tricia (alternate universe Trillian), Ford, and Random (Dent's daughter). That's about as dystopian as it gets. The only glimmer of hope was Zaphod escaping, but seriously he wasn't the most trustworthy of characters or that caring either. Though, apparently upon looking up the series again to refresh my memory, there is a sixth Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Book. This one written after Douglas Adam's death by Eoin Colfer with the approval of Adams' widow.

I'm a bit afraid to read the non-DA one in case it's crap.
Meh, the series started with Earth getting blown up so ending on the same thing was just completing the circle. (insert metaphysics technobabble here)
