A Bridge of Ideas
Despite one being a sprawling, cosmic satire and the other a gritty, mythological reimagining, both 'Life, the Universe and Everything' and 'American Gods' resonate with your appreciation for narratives that explore the absurdities of existence and the search for meaning. You've connected them through a shared underlying philosophical current that acknowledges the vastness of the unknown and the often-hilarious futility of human (or alien) endeavors to fully grasp it, hinting at a deeper fascination with how we construct order within chaos.
