Cat's cradle
Vonnegut, Kurt
Cat's cradle / Kurt Vonnegut - New York : Dial Press , 1991 , c1963. - 287 pp ; 20cc
Vonnegut's 1963 satirical science fiction novel still manages to pack a powerfully subversive punch. The new release offers readers an excellent opportunity to connect--or reconnect--with a classic text whose thematic elements--nuclear terror, the complications of science, American imperialism, global capitalism and the role of religion in public life--are remarkably relevant to our 21st-century landscape. The story line centers on a young writer's quest to research the history of the atomic bomb, which leads to a bizarre political soap opera and apocalyptic showdown on the shores of a seedy banana republic in the Caribbean.
