# Summary
The text discusses a crowdfunding proposal which involves pledges of time rather than money. The plan, scheduled to be launched on the anniversary of the Hitchhiker's Guide, involves participants committing to 42 hours of work in the coming year on a Hitchhiker's Guide-related initiative.
The 42-hour pledge can be fulfilled by working an hour a week, with the initiative envisioned as a sort of time bank. Participants can either donate their time or, if unable, contribute an equivalent amount of cash.
The text also introduces the idea of forming small teams or "crews", reminiscent of the characters on Hitchhiker's Guide, and working on themes present in the guide.
The author suggests that participants could work on conceptual projects like the improbability drive, and that this work could be considered a sort of astral voyage.
The text concludes by discussing potential financial aspects of the initiative, including the possibility of participants paying back any unfulfilled hours with cash, and using the project as a platform to discuss global wealth disparity.
