"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."

Cat's Cradle is Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist; a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer; and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny.

Hovedpersonen John sætter sig for at skrive en bog om atombomben. Og tage en række personer og fortælle hvad de lavede den dag, den første atombombe blev sprængt.
Det hele er flettet sammen med bokonoismen. Den første linie i Bokonons Bøger er: "Alle de sandheder, jeg vil fortælle, er skamløse løgne". Forfatterens tilsvarende advarsel er: "Ethvert menneske, der ikke kan forstå, hvordan en nyttig religion kan grundlægges på løgne, vil heller ikke kunne forstå denne bog." Og det er der ikke noget at gøre ved.
