Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. The writer of Cats Cradle divided the book into 127 chapters it of each chapter is significant to each from the paragraphs which come within the chapter. Cats Cradle starts out with our narrator Jonah working on a book about Felix Hoenikker a fictional scientist and equally the fictional father of the atomic bomb.
I am used to weird books as a whole. 5 chips of ice-nine out of 5. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers Cats Cradle is one of the twentieth centurys most important worksand Vonnegut at his very best.
Like the game of cats cradle itself where Newt points out there is no cat and there is no cradle life religion and everything else are false and meaningless. Vonneguts fourth novel is a masterclass in the use of satire and sarcasm to lampoon the most serious of disciplines in such a way as to show their ridiculousness. As you are reading it doesnt take long to start reflecting on life hope and the future.
First published in 1963 during the Cold War and six years before the Moon Landing Cats Cradle takes a look at the destructive creations made by science the ownership of these products of destruction and the power relationship in government. In the end Cats Cradle is a highly imaginative work of satire. The payoff is usually in terms of world-building but Cats Cradles world is ridiculous and constantly absurd emphasizing its bizarreness.
