Very similar in themes and atmosphere to Galapagos. That one has a much wider scope, whereas this is more synecdochic. The amorality of scientists is also a strong theme here, which I don't remember it being in Galapagos. It's also harsher - there is an almost savage glee in the ending of (in)humanity, instead of the serene fatalism of Galapagos.

For what it's worth, I think Cat's Cradle is probably a better constructed and written book (I particularly loved the abrupt but perfectly judged ending), but Galapagos perhaps more enjoyable.

While I like Vonnegut a lot, I do find he has a somewhat aggressive passivity to him, which can be a little annoying. Maybe it's a faked incomprehension of the everyday compromises and voluntary ignorances of life - while I tend to think he is correct, in an idealistic sort of way, there's something about his phrasing which I sometimes find jarring. That and his world weary tone means I need to take breaks between my Vonnegut, but I'm still looking forward to when I next pick one up.

I went into this one blind. Had no idea what was coming, and had never heard of Bokononism. I found it actually more delightful than expected. I enjoyed the not-so-subtle satire and found myself sometimes chuckling at Vonnegut's points, sometimes nodding in agreement. Is it weird I thought this was kind of a fun read? ( )

My reread of Vonnegut continues with one of my favorites by him. His structure and storytelling were brilliant. I am reading his books in the order he published them and you can really see him settling into his style in this book. ( )

One of those right frame of mind shindigs, but to be honest, I've heard of worse ideas than Bokononism. ( )

"Cat's Cradle" is an irreverent and often highly entertaining fantasy concerning the playful irresponsibility of nuclear scientists. Like the best of contemporary satire, it is work of a far more engaging and meaningful order than the melodramatic tripe which most critics seem to consider "serious."
