The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
Somebody Else's Problem Field2024 Mar 1
I love HHG2G and have read the omnibus several times. One of the most memorable things from the books is Adams' version of a cloaking device – rather than making your thing invisible, like in Star Trek, the Somebody Else's Problem Field simply renders the object inside to be beneath notice, nothing for you to concern yourself about, invisible by way of being somebody else's problem to solve. What's so great about this is that, unlike the cloaking device, the SEP field isn't science fiction. It happens all the time, everyday, in the cities we inhabit and the homes we live in.
