Kurt Vonnegut’s “Cat’s Cradle” is a darkly humorous masterpiece that weaves together science, religion, and human folly. Through the eyes of our narrator, we follow the bizarre legacy of Dr. Felix Hoenikker, creator of the apocalyptic “ice-nine.” Vonnegut’s razor-sharp wit dissects the absurdities of Cold War paranoia and the human condition, leaving readers both laughing and deeply unsettled. It’s a wild ride that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about the world—and maybe even yourself.
Live by the foma that make you brave and kind and healthy and happy.
