The story follows on quite closely from the end of the previous book, placing it at the end of the 1980s at a time seemingly before Mostly Harmless (or at least the bits set in what seems to be early 1990s Earth). The mysterious source paying Dirk could be trying to enlist his assistance in trying to defeat the Guide MK2 and it's temporal reverse engineering (possibly the Campaign For Real Time from Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything). After all Dirk knows about both time travel and jumping into the dimension of the Norse Gods. In the Hitchhikers universe we learn about the "higher dimensions" in Literature/LifeTheUniverseAndEverything. We also know that their supposedly unpleasant occupants would be done away with if anyone could work out how to fire missiles "at right angles to reality", making the whole Brockian Ultra Cricket bit turn from a silly aside to a major {{Foreshadowing}}. Creator/DouglasAdams expressed an interest in 'fixing' [[spoiler: the DownerEnding of Mostly Harmless]], and a possible crossover between Hitchhikers and Dirk Gently, and setting the book in the same time frame as Mostly Harmless would have allowed the characters from Dirk's Earth [[spoiler: to save the other Earths]]. However in his final TV interview he also noted that some of the ideas in Salmon of Doubt might instead be used for a Hitchhiker book, possibly indicating that he'd given up the crossover idea.

** Alternately, the version of Dirk who is orchestrating these events is a Dirk who took a different path in life at some previous point. Hence, the title of the book he trades to the derelict for some old newspapers (''The Origin Of Consciousness In The Breakdown Of The Bicameral Mind'') is significant: a clue to how Dirk's own mind, and self, has split into the Dirk we've been following and another Dirk who, among other things, actually ''has steady work''.
