Cat's Cradle

by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Cat's Cradle - Thryft
Cat's Cradle - Thryft

Satirical apocalypse with prophetic humor.

If you appreciate sharp wit wrapped in the guise of satire, "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut will resonate with you. It's a whirlwind journey through a tapestry of bizarre characters and imaginative theology, all serving as a mirror to our own world’s madness. Expect to be amused, provoked, and possibly a little unnerved by Vonnegut’s darkly comedic vision. It’s a staple for those who like their laughs laced with a dash of existential dread.

  • Hugo Award Nominee for Best Novel (1964)

Description

Alternate cover for this ISBN can be found hereCat's Cradle, one of Vonnegut's most entertaining novels, is filled with scientists and G-men and even ordinary folks caught up in the game. These assorted characters chase each other around in search of the world's most important and dangerous substance, a new form of ice that freezes at room temperature. At one time, this novel could probably be found on the bookshelf of every college kid in America; it's still a fabulous read and a great place to start if you're young enough to have missed the first Vonnegut craze.
