This week on Highway to Mars we look at three pieces of science fiction from the perspective of what they can tell us about the country of origin.  In this case we have Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (TV Series), Mad Max (Original Movie) and Independance Day.  Each of these movies is a reflection of the world of the people that created them, not only their personal world but where people were at the time of making.  Will be interesting to do a modern followup as all three reflect past generations.
